<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CoinOKC, post: 1001876, member: 2146&quot;]I must agree that the Daniel Carr-minted 1964 Peace Dollars (and the 2009 Proof ASE) are legal.&nbsp; Since they never offically existed in the first place, you can&#039;t &quot;copy&quot; something that never even existed.&nbsp; They&#039;re altered coins and Daniel is not trying to pass them off as anything <u>BUT</u> altered coins.&nbsp; I think it&#039;s a brilliant tactic, perfectly legal and wonder why I didn&#039;t think of it first!&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp;&nbsp; If someone in the future buys one of these thinking it&#039;s the real deal, well, that&#039;s his problem.&nbsp; It&#039;s no one&#039;s obligation to protect him from making stupid mistakes.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This situation brings to mind the &quot;Gold Plated V-Nickel&quot; episode.&nbsp; As you may recall, a guy plated V-nickels in gold and passed them off as real $5 gold pieces.&nbsp; That was his downfall.&nbsp; Had he passed them off as novelties or souvenirs, it would have been fine.&nbsp; If someone today offered you a gold-plated V-nickel would you buy it thinking it was a real $5 gold piece?&nbsp; If you do, that&#039;s your mistake.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Daniel, as soon as I get some extra cash, I&#039;m going to buy one![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
