It looks suspicious to me. Several areas are off, such as the faded and merged vertical shield lines. But especially the texture on the high...
If this is the case, then they wouldn't pay any more for a Carr over-strike than a common ordinary Morgan Dollar. So no harm done to the buyer if...
You wrote that I stated my process was to attempt to "destroy" the host coin as much as possible prior to the over-strike. That is false. What...
No, I wouldn't do that or anything else for you. A "1943" or a "1944" Lincoln Cent is not a "fantasy date". Remember when I previously wrote in...
No pictures of any 1964 Peace Dollar tooling or coins have ever been released, as far as I can tell. I assume that someone now has pictures of the...
Take a 1909 Lincoln Wheat cent and use a character punch to punch an "8" over the "9" (leaving everything else as it was) to make a "1908" Lincoln...
No, I did not state that. Among other things, you inserted the word "destroy" in your commentary so as to sensationalize it. But it is false....
For any GovMint product, I personally assume two things: 1) The mintage is quite high; 2) The final mintage will not be disclosed.
The original coin is not "destroyed". For example, a copper-nickel clad coin that is over-struck still shows on the edge the copper core and...
No, an altered (over-struck) Wheat Cent is not a "fake" of a Wheat Cent if the over-strike date does not match previously-issued Lincoln Cents.
Too late ... You've already repeated what you wrote in other threads in this thread. :yack: Several times. The case you repeatedly cite in this...
A "1964-D" Peace Dollar is a "fantasy date" because the US Treasury has officially stated that none were issued, all were melted, and none exist.
A 1958 Lincoln Cent is not a "fantasy date". What is a fantasy-date over-strike a "fake" of, exactly ?
Apparently there is no response to this ?
0 Why is that "unfortunate" ?
0 As I stated, I'm not a litigious person. But if somebody starts it, I will finish it. "bending over backwards" ? I don't think so.
If, at some point in the future somebody pulls off a scam using some coin, how about we blame the person actually perpetrating that fraud ?
I don't understand your answer (if it is an answer). What is a fantasy-date over-strike a "fake" of, exactly ?
The non-issued "fantasy date" is the signature. People are FAR more likely to note that on the piece than they would notice some small signature...
That is a nice one ! EXTREMELY unusual to find a bill like that in circulation.
Separate names with a comma.
