Thought this was an interesting coin for a topic. I Dont think is a prototype. I would think this is a Fantasy coin. Am I wrong? http://cgi.ebay.com/2003-D-SACAGEWEA...QQcmdZViewItem   03-26-2008, 04:04 PM   #2 (permalink) Hobo Numismatist In Training     Join Date: Dec 2007 Location: Colorado Springs, CO Posts: 5,027 My Mood: It's a fantasy piece. On the reverse it says "NON DOLLAR" instead of "ONE DOLLAR". __________________ No state shall emit bills of credit, make any thing but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts, coin money . . . - US Constitution, Article 1, Section 10 ANA LM-3799; OHNS LM-59; SUSCC R-4005.

Hmmm. From the looks of it, the e-bay seller bought one from the Daniel Carr website and has just turned a $20 profit. I assume it is a real piece that came from that website...... This is really interesting. I have all the Sacs. I didn't know the Carr site existed. One of those would be a nice and relatively cheap addition/conversation piece to add to the album.

The reverse design was one of the finalists in the compotition for the Sac dollar, the obv was another one of his designs that didn't get very far. The auction is wrong thouh, while several designs were submitted to congress in coin form, that was in 1999 and this was not one of them. Carr made them later. __________________ Slab collector and researcher reported as of 12/29/06 132 companies 332 production varieties   03-26-2008, 09:48 PM   #7 (permalink) GDJMSP Numismatist     Join Date: Nov 2002 Location: PA Posts: 24,558 I don't think prototype would be the correct word to use, the word prototype implies it is the first of something that is actually produced in quantity - and it isn't. I suppose fanatsy would be appropriate in this case though. Back when the program first started up they used the correct word then, they called them concept dollars and that's what they were. But one made 3 years later, I can't see that as being anything but a fanatsy piece. __________________ knowledge ..... share it   03-27-2008, 11:53 AM   #8 (permalink) grizz numismatist     Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: aliquippa, pennsylvania Posts: 1,527 2003........... e-bay is a fantasy!   03-27-2008, 07:44 PM   #9 (permalink) bqcoins You get what you pay for.     Join Date: Feb 2006 Location: Nebraska/Iowa Posts: 5,211 My Mood: scam plain and simple __________________ BQ Sometime Numismatic Consultant See my Bust Halves here: http://s240.photobucket.com/albums/f...albumview=grid See my Holey coins here:http://s240.photobucket.com/albums/f...albumview=grid   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
