1926-D Buffalo Nickel on Cent Planchet ?

Exactly... and of it's good enough (minus the nickel on nickel planchet) for Dan Carr, it's good enough for everyone/anyone else. The coin in the OP is not a "copy" of anything, but a simple alteration and therefore perfectly fine, or at least should be if a certain someone's logic is to be accepted. And so what if these fools who bid it up that high just suckered themselves; no one would EVER spend that kind of money without knowing exactly what they are doing, right? Perhaps this would be a fine example of how, in fact, the foolish can easily convince themselves to see only what they want to.

What.

The item in the linked auction is a very poor-quality copy of a 1926-D nickel, a real, existent issue, struck onto a cent.

I understand that, in your mind, this isn't significantly different from "altering" a coin into a date that has never existed. I don't quite understand your need to use every related thread as a new wheel against which to grind your anti-Carr axe, but I accept that it's going to happen.

 

As someone from colorado, we werent the only ones! Washington did it too.

 

Like it or not, the logic presented is not my own.

As for your "every related thread" claim... BS. I speak of the fantasy issue nowhere near as often as you do about your ridiculous "eBay gambles", which we both know are nothing of the sort; I expect it is going to happen and simply deal with it. Nothing I said here was unreasonable in any way, and the connection between the two should be clear, even to the fanboys. If we are going to accept "fantasies" with the overstruck justification, let's not be hypocrites about it and make exceptions only for what we may like.

 

You're right. I was grossly misremembering your activity. I apologize unreservedly.
