<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikenoodle, post: 1000487, member: 307&quot;]I disagree. The coin is re-struck with a second pair of dies. Yes, the parent coin is a US coin and legal tender, the altered coin is not. Yet it states that it is a US coin and by virtue of it&#039;s having a denomination, claims of legal tender status. </p><p><br /></p><p>All legaleze aside, this is an attempt to create a fantasy piece that the US Mint chose not mint. Only to the educated collector, is this coin going to be judged for what it is. The rest of the world will be duped into thinking that it is something that it is not. In that way I feel that it is being misrepresented. The date, devices and mottoes on this coin were not placed there by US Mint dies and polished to look like a proof, this coin was struck by private dies to look like something that was never made by the US Mint. </p><p><br /></p><p>Could you over-strike Peace Dollars with 1964-D dies and sell them without marking them copy? How about making a few 1922 Double Eagles into 1933s?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
