<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1335296, member: 26302&quot;]My only comment Krispy would be Mr. Carr says he tells people that these are not legal tender, and tells them they should not be used that way. That is fine for the purchaser, but what about a subsequent buyer? That is why have a medal that for all intents and purposes look like a US coin and have a denomination on it is dangerous. I understand this will be a short run, but a precedent is a precedent.</p><p><br /></p><p>Let me lay this scenario out for you then. Say a chinese minter strikes base metal medals that looks just like a US coin like this, (Liberty, United States of America, E Pluribus Unum, etc.), and lists its denomination as one dollar. The minter tells the buyers they are not legal tender, and sell them for $.15 a piece. Do you have a problem with that?</p><p><br /></p><p>Already they chinese minters are using the excuse of &quot;well we sold it to the buyer as not authentic&quot; when selling their counterfeits. I understand this is not a reproduction of an existing coin, but by making it look so much like a US coin, with all the correct phrases, and THEN listing a dollar denomination on the coin, I believe is too close. Listen, if it had &quot;moonlight mint&quot; instead of United States of America, or no denomination, I have no problem whatsoever. I just think telling the original buyer is not enough, because these someday will be inherited or sold, and THAT owner will not have been told anything.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just my opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
