[QUOTE="mikenoodle, post: 1009283, member: 307"]what happens if (and I stress IF) a REAL 1964-D surfaces and is unable to be confiscated by the US Govt. or is monetized for some obscure reason? What then? I think many have a problem with these possibilities. I have stated that if you can see the understrike, then I have no problems, as it makes the coin readily discernable. If it is no longer visible, then you are skirting the law for one of two reasons: in order to evoke change in that law, or you are skirting the law trying to make money by exploiting the line that the law has given you to walk on for profit. If I thought that your intent was legal change, I would respect and likely salute it. Sadly, I believe that your intention is none other than profit and in that regard, I can't but hope that the law somehow gets changed anyway, and your "special coins" become contraband, confiscated and you are made to refund everyone's money and take them all back and melt them. If that ends up the case, I sincerely doubt that you'd be able to re-buy them all and then we will have a numismatic conundrum on our hands as the US Govt. will be actively searching for the real coins as well as yours.[/QUOTE]
