<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dcarr, post: 2178449, member: 4781&quot;]The case cited earlier in this thread was about producing, marketing, and selling an entirely new piece, struck on virgin blanks. The references I cited have to do with altering and defacing an existing genuine coin (which is what I do). That is a huge difference. While both the Treasury statement and the FTC action you speak of were from 1978, the US Mint web page that I referenced is newer than that. <a href="http://www.usmint.gov/consumer/18USC331.cfm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.usmint.gov/consumer/18USC331.cfm" rel="nofollow">http://www.usmint.gov/consumer/18USC331.cfm</a></p><p><br /></p><p>&gt;&gt;&gt;do you know how many threads get created for coins like that &#039;laypeople&#039; think are rare valuable errors?</p><p><br /></p><p>Can you cite an instance where a layperson actually <i>paid</i> a lot of money for such a coin ?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
