Suppose a "novice with more money than sense" (a rare commoddity sought out by Nigerian and other scammers worldwide) did pay a "lot" for one of...
Yes, his art was confiscated because he took blank pieces of ordinary paper and made them look too much like real US currency. If he had done...
I claim that my 1964-D Peace Dollar fantasy over-strikes started out as genuine 1922-1935 Peace Silver Dollars, with no metal added or removed....
That definitely is a "Copy" of a Peace dollar (it did not start out as a Peace Dollar and was never legally "monetized" as a legal-tender dollar)....
No more than 2,000 (of all types and dies combined).
No metal is added, no metal is removed. The existing metal is just pushed around. So is it still a Silver Eagle and still a legal-tender...
Government-made 2009 PROOF Silver Eagles do not exist, nor do ANY Silver Eagles with a "DC" mint mark. So a 2009-DC "proofed" Silver Eagle is a...

Only the 2009-DC "proofed" Silver Eagles are sold through CSN (HSN and Coin Vault). I sell the "1964-D" fantasy over-struck Peace Dollars...

Only a few of the US Mint's coin designs are copyrighted, and they're all modern commemoratives and the Sacagawea dollar obverse. Also, the...
Different shows will have different allocations of coins. I estimate that the final mitnage of the 2009-DC "proofed" Silver Eagles will be...
What I'm saying is, according to the government, no original 1964-D Peace Dollars exist. But if they did, they would be subject to confiscation...
No, I'm not saying it is ok to dupe anyone. I'm certainly not duping anyone. I make it very clear what these pieces are when I sell them. If...
They can be both. Is a legal-tender instrument, once defaced, still legal tender for the original face value ? Is a "hobo" nickel (with little...
I would say defaced beyond recognition of the original, but the new image is the same (except the date, mint mark, and some very small details)....
