Ay CARRumba!

I've had much the same experience, although I can't say it was with the "top names in numismatics." I even once casually mentioned there was an entire set of overstrikes for sale on eBay at a show one day and saw they'd been sold by the next morning.... I don't know who bought them, but I have suspicions.

Now that's truly funny. Nearly all his comments have been to either threaten or incite.

 

A "1964-D" Peace Dollar is a "fantasy date" because the US Treasury has officially stated that none were issued, all were melted, and none exist.

 

I actually think the "attacks," as you put it, have a base.

 

A few people are rather lucky that's all they have been. As I said, given the means and reasons to do so, I wouldn't be so nice.

 

Best call PCGS then,and tell them to retract their reward for a real one.

 

I'm officially offering a reward for a real pink unicorn. Do they exist now?

 

And therein lies the root of the problem here

 

Well, maybe you should tell Pcgs that .

Ah... passive aggressive responses as opposed to real discussion.

 

A disagreement is not a problem IMO.

 

I posted the link for him ...

 

I think I like you, Paul. But now I'm scared of your legal action against me.

 

That's the real issue here, to much heat and you know what they side about that ....

 

Has PCGS paid out on its reward yet? No. Therefore, the reward is no evidence of the coins' existence.

Has one of the coins surfaced in any form outside the US Mint in the last 50+ years? No, not that anybody will admit to. Therefore, the mere possibility that one "could" have gotten out is not evidence of their existence.

Do US Mint records indicate that any of the coins still exist? Why, no they do not! This is evidence that the coins do not, in fact, exist.

Given this, claiming the coins exist is an extraordinary claim, and, as such, requires extraordinary evidence, like an authenticated, original piece.

 

But they were made... and now DC made them himself. Exact copies.

 

It is called tunnel vision.

 

So you're telling us a fantasy-date 1908 Lincoln cent struck over a 1909 Lincoln cent isn't a fake cent?

 

This is very interesting, because I seen the real deal about 10 years ago at a local show, or so they said ...

 

Funny.

You would be way, way down on my list.
