Message:: [QUOTE="CJackson, post: 1003704, member: 26897"]My pieces are easily recognizable due to the date alone. A potential buyer of one is going to fall into one of two categories: 1) Novice - If they don't know anything about the 1964 story, then they are not going to pay much for one, especially when they could get an older 1922-1935 coin for $20. 2) Average or Advanced Collector - They will likely know the story of the 1964-D Peace Dollars (if not, they fall into the "novice" category). When looking at one of the fantasy over-strikes, they will have to assume one of two things: either it is a fantasy recreation; or it is a genuine coin. They will also realize that, if the latter, the coin would be subject to confiscation (illegal to own). So if they pay a lot of money for one, they will know the risks.   No laws have been broken here !  I think you are missing the third, and most important, category, the novice with more money than sense, or the novice who doesnt know any better and thinks they are rare and getting a steal (as most people who buy off HSN IMO are), and are making an investment that will be worth something down the road.  I compare these to the NASCAR collector plates and the people who collect them.  They usually end up feeling burned and have a bad opinion of all people involved.[/QUOTE]
