Barack Obama 2008 President 24 Karat Gold Plated Dollar Coin

My understanding is it is only a crime to deface currency if it 1) makes it unusable, or 2) is an attempt to advertise for profit.

I could be wrong though.

Don't say that to loud, alot of Hobo nickel collectors out there...

 

Kindly refrain from Political comment

 

Wow! Little did I know that I have joined a website that *supposedly* talks about coins, but in reality is a haven for the liberal, politically correct elitists in our society. Jeez, I made a simple comment - my opinion - of the value of a particular coin, and someone there calls it "political comment"??? Wow....for the record, it was *not* a political comment; rather, it was a simple comparison between my perceived value of the coin based on my observed value of the individual on whom it is based.

We're all educated people here, and furthermore, we're all Americans, with the right of free speech. Hopefully, I don't have to quote chapter and verse on THAT. Hey, how about the LN6 Lincoln Chronicles set? Awesome, isn't it?

 

This is a private forum and thus does not have to allow free speech. Plus, if you had read the rules that you agreed to when you joined it clearly said no politics.

 

Thanks...you just solidified the point I was making. Again, I thought this forum was about coins, but there's an underlying mentality here that is oh so wrong for our country. Hey, how about that 2009 Silver Proof Set!!

 

This is a forum about coins...politics tend to cause arguments and thus isn't allowed. You should have read the rules before you agreed to them.

 

Welocme to the Forum from Michigan! I agree with fretboad, no collector value, what so ever.

 

Folks, I hear you....my only reason for posting in this area *WAS* collector-related. I was merely commenting on, and questioning, the value of such a coin. For me, it is of no value, and in fact, depreciates the value of the coin that is defaced...er, modified. I'll stop now, since so many of you clearly misunderstood the message.

Still loving my new Lincoln Chronicles Set....

 

Doesnt matter, If it makes you feel good collect it!

 

This is basically what I have been trying to say all along. :thumb:

 

Sometimes you over pay, But like i said if its something you just
Have to have, And you got the money! Do it!

I recently bought an Mpc that foot that bill but since there are only
3 In population and i didnt want to lose i paid a little more but Thats OK!!
