<p>[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 2155425, member: 37839"]Daniel, I am sorry that this argument comes up every time one of your coin purchases are made. I was originally in the camp that they were cheap fakes, and did my due diligence--I purchased one of the 1965D Peace dollars. Upon receiving it, I found it to be the highest quality, and very artistic. It represented not a counterfeit of what a 1964D nonexistent Peace Dollar could be, but what a "fantasy issue" of said date would look like. I made a public apology to you, as I saw the art in what you were doing, and have subsequently purchased many of your issues. Anybody but the most novice collector would know that the coin is a "token," and as such, is not legal tender. If one doesn't know that--they SHOULD NOT be buying coins in the first place without doing their research.</p><p><br /></p><p>We always use the old maxim--"books before coins." So, anybody with a modicum of knowledge would realize that the coins are issued as token pieces and collectibles, and NOT to replace or pass as legal tender. The disclaimers are clear on the website, and I like the work--or I WOULD NOT buy it. Lots of people collect tokens, and other curiosity pieces, and it is a bit presumptuous for anybody to tell others what is acceptable to collect, and what not to collect. Therefore, please accept my praise for doing a good job of what you are doing, and know that I am a collector of non-token high end Morgan Dollars, and other large Silver coins. I am happy to add your issues to my collection, as they represent the best work in the area of restrikes, fantasy coins, and tokens. My 1964D resides in an ANACS holder with a grade of MS 69, and is clearly labeled "TOKEN" on it. Others that I have purchased have been graded by ANACS as well, and received grades of MS 67-69. So, I am quite happy with my purchases, having done my due diligence as a collector.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
