[QUOTE="dcarr, post: 3100104, member: 4781"]My first over-strikes came out in 2010. Numerous Chinese "fantasy" coins were in the market prior to that. Nobody else has done any fantasy-date over-strikes before that or since. I suppose you'd like to blame me for this, but it occurred in 2009 (large quantities of mutilated counterfeit US coins from China were sold to the US Mint via their mutilated coin redemption program): [url]http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2015/03/feds_uncover_scheme_to_defraud_us_mint_out_of_54m.html[/url] So counterfeiting (and associated fraud) was a major problem prior to 2010. But those engaged in fraud do sometimes run into trouble. Fraudulent intent is the key element, even if you choose to dismiss it.[/QUOTE]
