<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1249121, member: 112&quot;]First of all yes, it is absolutely legal to own coin dies and it is of course legal to sell them. The only time this would even possibly be a problem is if it was a die for coins currently in circulation. And even then it would only be a problem if there was also evidence that you were using that die to make counterfeit coins. Possession of the die itself is no crime.</p><p><br /></p><p>I once had a chance to buy an obverse die for Morgan dollars from a ex President of the ANA, the die was nearly perfect other than a small rust spot. But the asking price was $11,000, so no I didn&#039;t buy it. But I did take pictures of it. It was later taken to a coin show and sold - all perfectly legal.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are more than a few coin dies out there in various collections. And just like the rare coins they occasionally come on the market, but they don&#039;t last long for obvious reasons.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now the question I would ask the OP is this - what makes you think this is a counterfeit die ? Based on your description it sounds more like a counterfeit coin of some sort for a die is a large chunk of metal and in no way resembles a coin. And dies do not have 2 sides.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
