Where's the fun in that? On all the forums I've ever participated in, I've only ignored one person, ever, and that was because the person's grammar and spelling literally infuriated me.
I believe I have a couple. One guy kept bragging about ripping people off and it bothered me. Another wouldn't stop posting dumb videos. I wonder how many have ignored me
Oh, wait, I forgot, I do ignore one person on here, mostly because I don't want to watch his dumb videos.
To which I counter that there are/were people sitting in federal prison with convictions for counterfeiting who used the same argument that overstriking a genuine coin is enough in and of itself to remove the coin from the purview of the counterfeiting statute (provided the rest of the required statutory elements are there). If there is some redeeming value or quality to his pieces, it isn't the nature of the host coin planchet that matters IMHO.
If there was an "ignore thread" function, I would be using it. Edit: holy smoke, there actually is! Bye!
Who? Back that up. Site a case conviction of someone who "is sitting in federal prison" for overstriking genuine US coins for novelty purposes with fantasy dates without the intent to deceive.
I think "novelty purposes" and "without intent to deceive," are the parts open to interpretation. No one would be sitting in prison if a judge found no intent to deceive, right?
Thanks Aidan. They sure are. Dan does some amazing work. If you are going to Summer Seminar again I highly suggest you take the Modern Minting class so you can take a trip to the Moonlight Mint. He'll teach you a bunch about the minting process and you'll have a great time getting to strike some Open House overstrikes so bring a few Morgans... A couple of those and the class almost pays for itself
Actually, that is the very crux of what makes them legal. If not then all hobo nickles, elongated cents and love tokens etc would be illegal. If someone for instance changed a 1944 Lincoln to a 1914 that is illegal as there is clear intent to decieve. What Dan does is perfectly legal wheather you all like it or not.
