[QUOTE="Jaelus, post: 4235065, member: 46237"]No, if it's made by the original mint with genuine dies like that, it becomes a fantasy piece or an unauthorized (but genuine) strike. Those are a separate type of strike, and are collectible in their own right, but are not counterfeits. A counterfeit has to be made with the [I]intent[/I] to deceive someone as if it was a real issued coin. Most fantasy/unauthorized pieces do not meet that condition. Yeah, but they aren't. I don't think anyone would seriously consider them to be forgeries any more than the 1933 double eagles are forgeries.[/QUOTE]
