<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dcarr, post: 1115476, member: 4781&quot;]This &quot;murder&quot; analogay doesn&#039;t apply because, in the case of the 1964-D over-strikes, nothing illegal is involved. So the question is not &quot;acceptable&quot;, but rather &quot;market acceptable&quot;.&nbsp;&nbsp; If people didn&#039;t like the coins, they would only be selling for scrap value.</p><p><br /></p><p>For someone else to replicate what I did, at the same level, they would have to:</p><p><br /></p><p>1) Have previously designed coins for the US Mint.</p><p>2) Create high-quality over-striking dies.</p><p>3) Strike only on 1922-1935 Peace dollars.</p><p>4) Process the host coins using a special process that involves no heating or melting, and no adding or removing of metal.</p><p>5) Use a surplus Denver Mint coin press for the over-striking.</p><p>6) Perform the over-striking in Colorado, about an hour drive from the Denver Mint.</p><p><br /></p><p>Someone in China could potentially do #3 and #4.&nbsp;&nbsp; #2 is extremely difficult due to the technology, equipment, and knowledge needed, as evident by the relatively low-quality of the Chinese pieces.&nbsp;&nbsp; #1, #5, and #6 is not possible for anyone in China.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
