[QUOTE="Kasia, post: 1417350, member: 31533"]Guess I have to eat my words here. The gubment does care if they say it's fraudulent. Guess that's the determining factor. Does the gubment pronounce one thing fraudulent and let other things go, at their discretion, and for no apparent reason? For example. evidently flattened pennies/elongated pennies/encased pennies (with advertising around them) is not fraudulent, since the gubment has never gone after them, and has ignored all past and current ones. evidently counterstamping like Daniel Carr doesn't qualify as fraudulent either, since the new date is not on a real coin evidently counterstamping kennedy facing lincoln on a penny and selling the same penny for 4.95 is not fraudulent either but somehow putting a sticker on the dollar or quarter is. A sticker that I would suppose could be removed. Guess it's the gubment's definition of intent to pass as advertising that defines fraudulent to them.[/QUOTE]
