<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 2507681, member: 19250&quot;]I agree with Jim on this one, as the dies, blanks and press used to make these did in fact belong&nbsp; to the U.S. Federal&nbsp; Government .&nbsp; When captured&nbsp; they were used to coin or make coins that in fact weren&#039;t&nbsp; for the U.S. Federal&nbsp; Government&nbsp; but to be used for the C.S. war efforts .</p><p>Jim is also correct&nbsp; stating that the US mint does and has minted coins for other governments &#039; countries&#039; under approval&nbsp; and contract by said government . </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>A perfect&nbsp; example&nbsp; would be country xyz&nbsp;&nbsp; contracts the US mint to mint 50,000 coins.&nbsp; Any mintage&#039;s over that amount would be considered&nbsp; counterfeits . Even though&nbsp; they are minted on the dies,using the&nbsp; same blanks , and materials .[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
