<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Morgandude11, post: 1939821, member: 37839&quot;]You are welcome, Mr. Carr.&nbsp; I was considering buying one of your Peace Dollars just to have for my collection, while I definitely do not agree in the gratuitous mintage of unauthorized coins (I tend to be a purist collector), it might be a nice addition to my collection as a curiosity.&nbsp; So, I may well buy one of the 1965D ones as a curiosity piece, since as most collectors know, there are no extant 1964 Peace Dollars (I do believe that was the original gist of this thread, and not a slam upon you, btw).</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Moreover, I never said it was &quot;easy.&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp; Obviously, one has to have money and expertise to produce something that isn&#039;t the quality of a Bejing Morgan Dollar--it has to be designed, engraved, and sold as a high quality item, not as a trashy replica coming from a &quot;rip off&quot; market.&nbsp; I never said that you were ripping off anybody--just that I don&#039;t respect them as genuine coins--they&#039;re reproductions of designs, much as the Heritage or Franklin mint issues.&nbsp; Nothing wrong with that, but a lot of collectors who are not sophisticated don&#039;t understand that.&nbsp; They don&#039;t discern the differences between producing one&#039;s own coinage that looks very much like genuine US coins (they aren&#039;t, I realize that, and know that you have complied with the law--what you are doing is definitely legal).&nbsp; However, is it in the spirit of collecting, or merely a collecting curiosity?&nbsp; Therein lies the debate, and that can take place ad nauseam.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
