The one that I did in gold did not come out perfect. If I can get it to work by over-striking existing Saint-Gaudens Double Eagles in gold, then...
I expect to start striking the Knights of the Coin table medals later today. I've been working on the blanks for them. Fabricating the bi-metallic...
Here is the original Saint-Gaudens plaster sketch: [IMG] The reasoning for the counter-stamps is that even though these are "fantasy" coins, they...
Genuine, corroded, heavily cleaned.
The Hard Times token is 39mm (1 troy oz . 999 silver). The over-strike Peace is slightly over 38mm (about the same as it was prior to the...
We are at the same point of contention as always. There is a distinction between striking a known coin type on a virgin blank (and deceptively...
The Committee, in their final analysis, brought up the fact that altered US coins are only a violation if the altering is for fraudulent purposes....

None of this takes into consideration the over-striking of genuine coins to clearly impart a date which was never issued. The outfit that...
The contention that the "1964-D" over-strike Peace is somehow different because they were previously minted is invalid because the issuing...
Because obviously there was no fraudulent intent.

The US Mint conducted a limited invitation-only design competition for the WW1 dollar. The only design that the US Mint published from that...
Any zinc Lincoln cent that I dig out of the ground while metal detecting.
"SS" ? Secret Santa or Secret Service ?

Genuine, F12 grade.
