[QUOTE="BostonCoins, post: 1964407, member: 34720"]Is it just me... or does anyone else see the irony in all of this? Since there were no 1804 Silver Dollars struck in 1804 (all dollar struck that year used the 1803 dies)... then all 15 or so known specimens of the 1804 dollar is a fake. They were minted some 30+ years AFTER 1804. We even know what mint employee made the Class II and Class III illegally. Just amazing that anyone would pay that much for a coin that ... well... for all purposes... is a fake! I realize it was made at the mint.. I realize that the mint employee used different dies and such to make it happen... but... In the end.. it's not a normal production coin. Only the Class I was officially made for the special Siam set.... Class II and Class III are straight up fakes. Not saying I wouldn't want it in my collection though! :)[/QUOTE]
