discretion and carefull wording would have worked. but posting this question
here has compeletely destroyed any chance you had. there are petty little tin
shit assholes who will report you for "fun".
sadly, you just shot yourself in the balls.
if you wait a few months until the tiny brains short attention spans forget,
it may work.
sorry, but you just fucked up.

I would list it anyway. I would list all variety numbers, rarity

then there's no chance of it getting cancelled.
Anyway, the Bolen's Copy isn't the same coin, by reverse, anyway so
it's not exactly a copy and no different than all the silver rounds
that are copies of real US Coins, and they don't have copy on them.
Just my take on the whole thing.
