<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Clawcoins, post: 2611611, member: 77814&quot;]I find this interesting the arguments.</p><p><br /></p><p>DC uses an existing coin, and defaces/restrikes a new image/ etc a coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thus the coin has a value before he changes it.</p><p>It thus has a base value (PM, etc) plus an numismatic/artistic value.</p><p><br /></p><p>When he passes (not offense to DC) will these be considered works of &quot;art&quot; and thus gain valuation such as with paintings?</p><p><br /></p><p>If the coin enters the money supply, which may very well happen, will it be noticed immediately ?&nbsp;&nbsp; ie, someone finds a DC Morgan in their grandpas stuff and takes it to the convenience store and buys $1 worth of bubblegum for the Morgan Dollar.&nbsp; The register lady won&#039;t notice anything past $1, if it is even accepts it (as one may not even accept a regular Morgan dollar). If it is, then it&#039;s value is $1 at that point.&nbsp; Will the, say Brinks, notice that the date is wrong.&nbsp; They&#039;ll probably remove it from circulation but after that point when it is removed from circulation either way and replaced would it even be noticed that the date is wrong before it gets destroyed?</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s kinda like a 1933 quarter.&nbsp; I never knew there wasn&#039;t one until a thread today.&nbsp; No one looks at date when the stuff is used for commerce.</p><p><br /></p><p>I received a Bahama&#039;s penny recently, as a penny aka 1 cent.&nbsp; Who notices this stuff except for someone that looks at their change.&nbsp; Same shape and size, but it certainly isn&#039;t a US coin.&nbsp; I can return it to the money supply and I&#039;m sure no one would notice.&nbsp; With all the strike image variations with modern quarters, nickels, etc noticing a &quot;fake&quot; whatever is very hard today.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
