<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim M, post: 1417379, member: 4791&quot;]This very well may be true.&nbsp; I stood behind a table at a show several months ago and got into a discussion over one of these 1964 Peace Dollars that a guy put away back in the mid 60&#039;s, he had several articles with him that he had printed off the internet showing stuff about how they were minted by the US Government and recalled and his was the only one that survived and was smuggled out etc...&nbsp; I told him that if IF it were real it would be illegal to own and would be confiscated much like the 1933 Gold coins.&nbsp; He laughed and said, yea that&#039;s going over well isn&#039;t it. </p><p><br /></p><p>So to make sure I understand here.&nbsp; </p><p>A.&nbsp; if the 1903CC had been pressed here in the US it would of been ok because it would of been a fantasy product?</p><p>B.&nbsp; I have seen Bust Halves that pass the silver test coming out of China. (Particularly 1830-1833&#039;s) So I guess that makes them fantasy pieces instead of fakes.</p><p>C. What a coin is sold as and what the person buying it shares are FAR different.&nbsp; The guy who had the 64 Peace Dollar swore up and down he got it back in the mid 60&#039;s.&nbsp; (Yes it was a DC coin, the diagnostics were on the coin) ( for those who dont know, there is a small die gouge next to the D mintmark and an extra ray like the 21 has )&nbsp; </p><p>D.&nbsp; Won&#039;t get into the legal issues as I am certainly not qualified to do so.&nbsp; Like I said, it must be legal or DC would have been told to stop long before now.&nbsp; </p><p>E.&nbsp; The Bust halves were not that Bad Daniel.&nbsp; Had it not been for Die Marriages (Overton) I would imagine that 90% of the dealers at any given show would purchase them as real. Susan Headly has proven this down at FUN in the past if I remember correctly.</p><p>F.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know how the Chinese are striking, punching, melting or whatever their products vs. how your doing it. I know that you purchased a used mint press.&nbsp; Whats to say they haven&#039;t as well?</p><p><br /></p><p>Again, don&#039;t get me wrong here DC, I am not against what your doing as long as people are buying the product go for it.&nbsp; I am telling you first hand that the product once it leaves you starts a new life and folks think they have hit the lottery.&nbsp;&nbsp; Now in one regards I guess you should take that as a compliment because your work is very good.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
