<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iPen, post: 2308163, member: 69760&quot;]I&#039;m wondering if any of you have an original US or other country&#039;s Mint die.</p><p><br /></p><p>Are these illegal due to potential counterfeiting - so are they destroyed or kept in a vault by the US Mint / government? Even if it&#039;s discontinued coinage, it would flood the collector&#039;s market with fake coins made from these dies.</p><p><br /></p><p>But, you never know... maybe there was a design contest and some dies were not approved for coinage. Those would be neat.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><font size="3">Pics from the &#039;net:</font></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.coinnews.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Proof-Coin-Dies-at-US-Mint-in-San-Francisco.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://blog.goldeneaglecoin.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/2013_Royal_Mint_and_PAMP_Sovereign_die_tooling_1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
