[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 8332878, member: 27832"]Let's review the steps here: 1) Carr obtains a US silver dollar with a face value of $1. 2) Carr overstrikes it to bear a fantasy date, still with a denomination of $1. 3) Carr sells the restrike to a collector. 4) Child steals restrike from collector. 5) Child spends restrike at face value. 6) Cashier accepts restrike at face value. The cashier has just accepted an [I]altered $1 coin[/I] at its $1 face value. OH NOES!!! The only criminal act I see here, and the only victim I see here, both appear in step 4. It looks to me like Carr's hands are entirely clean...?[/QUOTE]
