Sometimes I consider giving it a try just to prove it's possible, then I start adding up the cost what I'd need, and the hours I'd have to spend, and for me it's just too expensive without the willingness to actually put a few out there. That's a line I just wouldn't cross, I'd end up as a great technician who wasn't any better than some guy with a laser printer and some cardboard. And more than likely one who was doing time.
Now if some one wanted to sponsor the project as a bit of performance art with all the card/cards and the entire setup destroyed at the end to be sure they weren't sold.......(Adds to list of bad ideas that I'm probably glad there wouldn't be any support for.)

No. To match the original dot pattern, you'd need the original plate, or the original photo/negative to make a duplicate "original" plate. All likely long since gone. Try to do it from a different approach and you will leave different footprints at, as David says, the Microscopic level, and I believe at the high power magnification level--say 16x--as well.
Happy collecting,
