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.
I'm not one to start legal papers flying. But if someone did start that process against me, I would start filing as well. And if my fantasy-date...
Fakes of what, exactly ?
The moderator let stand the post below (from another thread) where you outright called me a "counterfeiter":
As far as I can tell, you've never refrained from posting your opinion. Has a moderator ever edited or deleted one of your posts ? If anything,...
They are over-struck two or three times at 300 tons.
I would have tried to make the most accurate fantasy-date over-strike possible. But I would not do an 1886-CC, 1887-CC, or 1888-CC over-strike...
Reportedly, Frank Gasparro re-modeled the Peace Dollar design for 1964. Along with that 1964 Morgan Dollar tooling, original 1964 Peace Dollar...
Everyone who replied "1864" is technically wrong. o_O Some 1863 pattern coins had it. Like this one: http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/uspatterns_2270_82366309
The strangest thing about those (to me, anyway), is that NGC "certified" them. If I had made them, the Liberty Head and Eagle would have been a...
Here are all my "art deco" favorites :) [IMG]
Sales of the "P-P-Panda" on eBay are typically in the $200 to $300 range. Issue price was $85. Mintage was 208.
It's not the "computer". It's the "art deco" ;)
Naturally you fail to acknowledge the marketing aspects. I don't over-strike US Mint coins and then claim that the fantasy-date is a US Mint...
At the time, there were plenty of false coins that they let slide by.
Whether or not that system was better is debatable. I once had a genuine but uncertified 1859-S Seated Liberty Dollar that I listed on eBay with...
A constant-radius curvature on a clip would be suspicious to me. I've personally struck all sorts of things, and I can say from experience that...
The Chinese "fantasy" coins (the ones that aren't modern reproductions) are similar to pattern coins. Some were privately made and some others...
