If Mr. Carr's use of the Half Eagle is to be supportable under The Hobby Protection Act, which is written specifically to allow for replica...
Don’t deceive yourself. That no 1933 half eagles were coined by the US Mint does not free Mr. Carr from counterfeiting charges. Close...

Since this thread seems to have wandered into a new topic, I'll offer a sometimes useful tip in this regard. To simplify my life, I have enough...
