[QUOTE="dwhiz, post: 1298718, member: 25416"]This modern fantasy is LEGAL and is not required to carry a "COPY" stamp for the following reasons: 1) These are not copies of Morgan silver dollars - they are privately over-struck on GENUINE government-issue Morgan silver dollars that were originally minted from 1878-1921. 2) According to the US Treasury, no Morgan dollars were minted or dated during the years 1905 through 1920 - so this can't be a copy of one dated 1909 since they don't exist. 3) Defacing of US coins is legal so long as the defacement isn't for fraudulent purposes. By purchasing one or more of these coins, the buyer agrees to provide full disclosure of their origin when reselling them. Failure to provide potential buyers with complete and accurate information when offering these coins could result in criminal and/or civil fraud charges. In other words, don't even think about trying to sell these to unaware buyers as original 1909-o Morgan silver dollars ! The pictures accurately show what the coins look like. No photo editing was performed. There may be subtle differences between coins. Since they are over-struck on existing coins, there may be faint evidence of the original coin design showing since the overstrike is usually not perfectly aligned with the original strike. Do not attempt to use these as legal tender. This product is NOT endorsed or approved by the US Mint, US Treasury, or US Government.[/QUOTE]
