<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dcarr, post: 2157533, member: 4781&quot;]You are employing your own logic here, not mine.</p><p>The Chinese pieces are struck on low-grade base-metal blanks. There is no silver content. They are not struck on US legal-tender silver dollar coins. Mine are. So that constitutes the difference between a &quot;copy&quot; coin and a &quot;defaced&quot; coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regardless, the &quot;market&quot; has spoken. Like it or not, some people will pay a fair amount for my past over-strikes. They will not pay much of anything for the Chinese copies. Several times I have seen the &quot;1906&quot; Chinese dollar sell for less than the apparent face value. But they are so cheaply made that the maker could still profit by &quot;spending&quot; them. The lowest price realized in recent internet auctions for any of my various dollar coin over-strikes has been around $150 each (well above the issue prices).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
