I can see the reasoning behind it -- eBay loses a bit to merchants on gift card sales, and they probably collect their smallest fees from...
Interesting idea. I can't imagine that @dcarr would have equipment suitable for producing large-sized replicas, but I wonder if he has CAD files...
A shame you can't use gift cards on them any more either. :(
Mint to demand. Wouldn't want to fuel demand with an artificial shortage. ;)
I'm not sure I'd call that "advanced" -- it would be dead easy to spot; just put the coin on a flat surface next to a legitimate example.
Exactly. It's solely a matter of marketing manufacturing demand.
Dibs on 1964.
A dollar FV of uncirculated clad coins (dimes/quarters/halves) is supposed to weigh 22.68 grams. A dollar FV of uncirculated silver...
The '55 DDO calls to mind another good example. In 1955, as in other years, the Mint used dies until they were used up. Late in their life, they...
Yeah, but some of it is really, really good original material -- witness the posts immediately preceding this one. I'm not leaving while there's...
I'm not very good with faces, but that looks an awful lot like a TRVMPIVS!
I suppose it wouldn't be sporting to point out what happens if you, say, accept a payment of $100 in those legal tender coins instead of $1200 in...
No, although it did take me a good bit longer to decide that it didn't. :) It seems like you're inferring further limitations around the intent of...
I don't understand at all. If it's illegal to make a die in the likeness or similitude, where does "intent" come in? They made the die. They then...
And I think that's the very key point. The law is aimed at protecting the money supply. It has little or nothing to do with protecting people who...
Then consider someone who, in an effort to comply in full with the HPA, creates a die and then stamps it with COPY. How are they not violating...
You know, it seems to me that presenting several photos of coins -- or anything else -- and saying "describe these in enough detail that another...
Well, I slept right through the re-release (actually was dealing with a work crisis). How long did they take to sell out?
:rolleyes:
Are you prepared to prove with rigor that there is no "person, object, place, or event" that a 1964-D Peace Dollar restrike could "commemorate"?...
Separate names with a comma.
