LOL !! Somehow I knew you'd see it that way :D
You're welcome ;)
Yes - that is exactly what I am saying. It's quite easy to do actually - novelty companies make them by the thousands and sell them as magicians...
And before somebody thinks I've gone off the deep end and forsaken gold in favor of silver :rolleyes: - here's another of my favorite ducat...
This one is for those folks ( yeah I'm talkin to you Roy :D ) who prefer their coins to have that original white, mint luster. You know the kind...

Howdy Mike - Welcome to the Forum !! You sound like my kinda guy - I was a collector of original US Mint & Proof sets for many years. And like...
Howdy taxbuster1040 - Welcome to the Forum !! Let me start this off by stating I am not a coin dealer, never have been and never will be. But I...
