<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikenoodle, post: 1001618, member: 307&quot;]I think it would be more accurate to say it <b>was</b> a Peace dollar. It is a fantasy Peace Dollar because it is now mutilated beyond recognition.</p><p><br /></p><p>That said, what next for you to make, Reverse Proof 1997 silver Eagles? Or will you take two genuine 1/2 ounce gold planchets and create a 1933 High Relief?</p><p><br /></p><p>My problem (I can&#039;t speak to other&#039;s objections) is that your &quot;coins&quot; are made to fulfill a demand in the marketplace left void by the US Mint. The only entity that has the constitutional authority to coin United States Mint products is the US Mint. Therefore the only entity entitled to legally fill that void is the US Mint. Your products do not differentiate themselves enough from the genuine articles to be assumed anything but genuine.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can&#039;t manufacture my own pair of Nike Air Jordan gym shoes in a color that is unavailable simply because there is a demand for them in the marketplace. Even if I make them out of genuine Air Jordans I am still fashioning my product using someone else&#039;s copyrighted design.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you changed the legends on the coin to something other than United States of America, I support your right to make a living, but your coins as they are violate my sensibilities if not the coinage laws.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
