<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 1000633, member: 15929&quot;]The 1922 Plain was produced. Not intentionally, just like the 55/55, but it does exist. Neither of the two coins produced by Moonlight Mint exists.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Remember, the minting of coinage was intended as an official assay of metals commonly used for trade. Both coins produced by the Moonlight Mint are the original government assay. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Your 55/55 example above would be impossible unless someone created a 55/55 die. Otherwise the original impression would be nearly wiped out witht he second strike as shown in the photo&#039;s I provided of the 2009 SAE.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Both coins are still considered legal tender but with altered surfaces. The same as a coin with its surfaces wiped clean from wear or a coin with the mintmark scraped off. Neither coin is marketed as original and the collecting community is fully aware that neither coin officially exists. As stated earlier, these are simply fantasy pieces which is not new in the coin collecting arena.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u8/lcl1119/Misc/FugioRestrikePopsList.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The above coins were NOT produced by the US Mint.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
