<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dcarr, post: 1415294, member: 4781&quot;]If someone is determined to commit a numismatic scam, they will find a coin to do it with.&nbsp;&nbsp; Even if I had never made any of these over-stikes, there are still plenty of candidate coins (altered, whizzed, repaired, etc).</p><p><br /></p><p>If a seller KNOWINGLY mis-represents a coin when selling it, the fault is always going to lie with the seller making the false claims, not the maker of the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the case of the &quot;1964-D&quot; over-strike Peace dollars, for example, who is going to pay a high price for one ?&nbsp;&nbsp; A novice who knows nothing of the story of the original 1964-D dollars is extremely unlikely to hand over a lot of money for something they know nothing about.&nbsp;&nbsp; Sure, they may risk parting with $100 or so, but they won&#039;t be spending thousands.&nbsp;&nbsp; And who is to say that the fair market value of such an over-strike isn&#039;t over $100 anyway ?&nbsp;&nbsp; So who would pay a lot for one ?&nbsp;&nbsp; Only a person with knowledge of the story of the original 1964-D dollars.&nbsp;&nbsp; And in buying such a coin, the buyer would have to assume one of two things - either the coin is a modern re-creation of some sort, or it is an original (illegal to own and subject to immediate confiscation by the government).&nbsp;&nbsp; Either way, the buyer would KNOWINGLY be taking a risk.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
