<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tom Maringer, post: 362437, member: 7033&quot;]Excellent detective work! Indeed, I have not handled any of those, but I have some photographs. Apparently that was a &quot;fantasy&quot; that was used in an attempt to sell them as genuine. It&#039;s a good story... and as a fantasy it could have sold several... but you&#039;re absolutely right that a closely defined sterling alloy would have been impossible to create. Thanks for going to the trouble to have those assayed! </p><p><br /></p><p>And the addendum... what was the disposition of those coins? Are they still circulating around? </p><p><br /></p><p>The Yocum fantasies I make are .999 silver... struck on 1 troy oz blanks I buy from the refiner. And I make no claims of &#039;authenticity&#039;... it is a fantasy pure and simple. </p><p><br /></p><p>But those Ozarkers coins... they have a numismatic interest even as fakes! I wouldn&#039;t mind having one at a reasonable price.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
