[QUOTE="dcarr, post: 1009456, member: 4781"]The only thing that matters, legally, is what was the Government's position on the 1964 dollars at the time when I produced my over-strikes. If the Government subsequently revises their position and produces an original 1964 dollar (which would, of course, be very interesting !), it still wouldn't matter because my actions would be judged solely on the basis of the Government's last official statement at the time (the 1973 Treasury News). You are not considering two important facts: 1) The recent replica "1933" Double Eagles were made AFTER the Farouk 1933 Double Eagle was legally monetized and sold into the numismatic market place. 2) Specific date aside, the replica Double Eagles are copies of the Double Eagle TYPE, and they are not made out of legally-monetized $20 instruments. My over-strikes, however, are not "copies" of the Peace Dollar TYPE - they are (over-struck on) genuine legal-tender Peace Dollars. I do not believe that the Smithsonian has a 1964 dollar. But, I'd actually like to see the Government pull one out of hiding ;)[/QUOTE]
