[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1014623, member: 66"]Another thing that points to them being a scam is that several of the Class III coins also came with affidavits from high mint officials that they were original genuine specimens struck in the year 1804, yet they were coins that these same officials were involved with restriking. Another interesting fact is tha with the exception of the Linderman coin, all of the other Class III dollars trace their pedigrees back to the hands of William Idler and his Son-In-Law Capt Haseltine. While the Muscat of Oman set never came to market intact, the coins from the set did come to light in I think it was the Waters collection.
