[QUOTE="NorthKorea, post: 1234275, member: 29643"]I believe the reason Liberty Dollar got vonNotHaus in trouble was due to the placement of a denomination on the medallion. That gave the fraudulent impression (along with other things) that it was US coinage. Also, I still contend that the problem wasn't with the coins, but the fact that he printed "currency" notes. Otherwise, it was basically bullion. Once he printed tender notes, he overstepped the authorization of currency printing/distribution. Edit: I find the concept of "half pound" coins to be deceptive. The coin that doesn't say Troy in the scale is well under-weight. One pound = 453.59g. So, that one is underweight by about 50g. :P The one that says Troy is pretty much spot on with one Troy pound = 373.24g. On a serious note, both medals are within 1% of the standard gram weight for half a Troy pound. I wouldn't worry about it.[/QUOTE]
