During the caliph of ABU BAKAR or his real name ABDULLAH BIN OTHMAN who also known as ABDULLAH ABU QARTADAH, there was ONE copy only.
During the caliph of OTHMAN IBNU AFFAN FOUR more COPIES were wrote based to the original PERFECT COPY that were wrote during Abu Bakar.THREE of these FOUR copies were sent to Egypt, Syria and Baghdad as a reference to all Muslim.
Now a days every copy of Quran are print based on Othman's original copies also known as MUSHAF OTHMANIAH.

The Quran was revealed in Arabic and the original are in Arabic. All copies are the same. They are as they were when they were first revealed to Prophet Muhammad. The Quran wasn't written down until afetr the death of Prophet Muhammad. There were many of the companions of the Prophet who have studied and memorized the whole Quran word from word. It has been that way since it was revealed. However, the Quran does have translations into most of the worlds languages. These translations are to give the closest meanings possible to the Arabic. Remember, these are only translations, not the original.

I do not know what you call perfect, but like all religious books, all versions of it have been copied by hand and amended many times, as required by various leaders of the past.
The funny thing is that all Muslims have been brainwashed to believe that not a word has been changed ! Lol. But it remained bloodthirsty, primitive and barbaric, in spite of that.

I don't know, and I am not Muslim but tying your life to a book is not being able of discernig time and space.
We can study past things from these books, but the truth of justice remains coming from our hearts.
The justice about every man having right to enough food, drink and shelter, the same as benefiting from everything our beautiful world has to offer, is not written like this in the Bible or the Quran, yet it remains an inviolable truth.

For twenty-three years, God's words (the Qur'an) were truly put into Muhammad's (pbuh) mouth. The Qur’an was dictated to Muhammad (pbuh) by Angel Gabriel, who asked him to simply repeat the words of the Qur'an as he heard them. These words were then committed to memory by the Prophet and hundreds of companions during Muhammad's lifetime and under his supervision.
There is a divine promise to protect the last and final revelation to mankind and this “book” would first be written on the hearts of the believers……. not paper. It is a miracle for all of mankind till the last day and a Mercy from God. To this day millions of Muslims memorize the entire Quran from cover to cover.
Was it a coincidence that the prophet "like unto Moses" from the "brethren" of the Israelites (i.e. from the Ishmaelites) was also described as one in whose mouth God will put his words and that he will speak in the name of God., ( Deuteronomy 18:18-20 ). Was it also a coincidence the "Paraclete" that Jesus foretold to come after Him was described as one who "shall not speak of himself, but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak (John 16:13).
Isaiah ties between the messenger connected with Ke'dar and a new song (a scripture in a new language) to be sang unto the Lord (Isaiah 42:10-11 ). More explicitly, prophesies Isaiah "For with stammering lips, and another tongue, will he speak to this people" (Isaiah 28:11 ). This latter 'verse correctly describes the "stammering lips" of Prophet Muhammad reflecting the state of tension and concentration he went through at the time of revelation. Another related point is that the Qur'an was revealed in piece-meals over a span of twenty-three years. It is interesting to compare this with Isaiah 28:10 which speaks of the same thing.

There aren't any original copies left. That's why some people doubt the validity of the copies we have today.

Depends what you mean by perfect. Like very old ones? Or all kinds but without any imperfections. If the latter there must be thousands in mosques etc.

As far as I know, all copies sold by Islamic booksellers are perfect. Nothing in them has been altered since the time of the prophet Muhammad (pbuh).

None.
The Koran is far from perfect.
