<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Coinchemistry 2012, post: 2175091, member: 28107&quot;]The question isn&#039;t whether any pieces exist; for HPA purposes, it merely needs to look like a circulating series.&nbsp; And even if we interpret the HPA as narrowly as you wish to do, the fact is that the 1964-D Peace Dollars were struck.&nbsp; Whether any remain/survive is immaterial to the Title 18 statutes and the HPA.&nbsp; Finally even if we ignore all of this, and adopt your flawed analysis the real legal question is &quot;whether a person of ordinary intellect could reasonably conclude that the 1964-D Peace Dollars exist&quot; and &quot;whether Carr&#039;s pieces purport to be or are similar in design/similitude to the 1964-D pieces or other U.S. Peace Dollars struck by the government.&quot;&nbsp; (And I am not conceding the first question is relevant; legally the answer to the second one is the only one that matters). And in the government&#039;s case against the Norfed man, the fact that he used legends and denominations like those on U.S. currency was enough to convict him even though his coins sought to create an alternative currency and not to copy U.S. coins per se.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
