<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 26062253, member: 101855&quot;]I disagree with this completely. What you have is a fantasy piece, which in its best form is a novodel. That’s an official piece that was made with a set of dies made after the date that appears on the piece. The most famous examples are the 1804 Silver Dollars which were first struck in 1834. </p><p><br /></p><p>Some of the Dan Carr stuff, like the 1964 Peace Dollar, is okay to a point. For those who want a filler for a fantasy coin that once existed, I suppose it’s okay.</p><p><br /></p><p>Still these pieces which look like a real coin that bear a date that never existed are a recipe for trouble. Somewhere down the line, there will be a shyster who try to sell these things to a fish as “a recently discovered rarity.” It will be one more rooking that will give coin collecting a bad name.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for your last sentence, the poster is, in fact, a scientist.
