<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coinhead63, post: 1398060, member: 28001&quot;]The mint defaces all dies (at least nowadays).&nbsp; In the past, there have been re-strikes made years after the original issue however, you must go back about 200 years.&nbsp; You can legally buy used (defaced) dies.&nbsp; If a person were to have a working die or pair of dies in their posession you can bet that the Treasury Dept. would be on them like a pit bull on a T-bone steak.&nbsp; If the mint were to uncover a pair of working dies and put them into production with the original alloy, they would be considered re-strikes.&nbsp; If someone outside the mint were to do this, they&#039;d probably find themselves staying at the Gray Bar Hotel as this would be considered counterfieting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
