[QUOTE="dcarr, post: 2608856, member: 4781"]The original coin is not "destroyed". For example, a copper-nickel clad coin that is over-struck still shows on the edge the copper core and copper-nickel outer layers. A Chinese-made "1894-CC" Morgan represents as a legal-tender dollar, even though the US Treasury didn't get their dollar for it. It is an example of a [I]currency counterfeit, so cheaply made that the makers could spend it as a dollar and still yield a profit[/I]. A fantasy-date over-strike on a genuine Morgan Dollar is different. I'm not "coining new pieces". I'm altering existing coins.[/QUOTE]
