Message:: [QUOTE="Caleb, post: 1941457, member: 32795"]That is the most “LAME” argument you have made so far….  Once Mr. Carr copied the entire design of the Peace dollar, including the value “ONE DOLLAR” and phase “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” onto his dies, the devices stopped being a collectible medal or token but an altered coin.   I realize that it may be difficult sometimes to protect people from their own stupidity, which is why, like most laws, the Hobby Protection Act was passed along with the racketeering statues so that matters could be redressed.   Again, your argument is “LAME”.  Were Peace dollars produced by the United States Mint located in Denver during 1965 dated 1964-D?  I believe the “Red Book” and “Blue Book” both had the mintage of the 1964-D Peace dollars listed within them for several years during the late 1960’s – 1980’s.  Yes Congress was told in 1965 that all 64-D Peace dollars were destroyed, but we know that wasn’t true because a couple of them showed up in Washington D.C. in the late 1960’s or early 1970’s.  How many more are out there, who knows?  The fact is that they were manufactured by the US Mint in 1965.Now if you look at this web page:<a href="http://www.collectors.org/Library/Hobby_Protection_Act.asp" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.collectors.org/Library/Hobby_Protection_Act.asp" rel="nofollow">http://www.collectors.org/Library/Hobby_Protection_Act.asp</a> Section 304.1 (D)   People should think of what Mr. Carr’s creation is, his so-called 64-D Peace dollar when reading the second sentence.  “Such term includes an original numismatic item which has been altered or modified in such a manner that it could reasonably purport to be an original numismatic item other than the one which was altered or modified.”[/QUOTE]
