A small group of rare gold coins, SS New York & SS Republic shipwreck recovery half dollars, plus more. All true auctions (no reserve, low...
Nearly all of the design is restruck (with the date being changed to one that previously didn't exist for that design type). The vast majority...
Many types of "altered" coins retain their legal-tender status (plated, painted, counter-stamped, carved, etc.). Not exactly. I'm not...
Because I do not claim that they are legal tender. Their legal-tender status is not certain because there is no relevant law concerning this...
This week I'm going to start work on a new Titanic-themed Hard Times token. Possibly for release in May. No specific plans yet, but I have in...
You have your opinion and you are entitled to it. But the fact is, there is no US law which establishes the amount of change to a coin to...
It most certainly DOES make a difference what I strike on ! The whole legal tender issue is different. Counter-stamping over an existing coin...

Thanks, FYI, I do have a similar design in copper as a 1-Amero concept coin, and in silver as a 20-Ameros concept coin: [IMG]
Thanks for the nice comments.
Thanks, I make these coins in association with Dave Emslie. Using dies I made, he strikes and distributes most of the ones seen eBay. I also...
I do not claim legal tender status for them, and I do not advocate their use as legal tender.
Andy Warhol painted a picture of a Campbell's Soup can label, and it has become an icon of modern art. Some forms of "art" are more about the...
The difference is, on the toned coin in question, you can not look at the date or other details and readily determine that something has been...
