<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim K, post: 3957490, member: 91282&quot;].....Oh, as for the 1964-D Peace dollar Carr overstrike, I guess I was one of the fortunate ones who purchased one of these when they first came out.</p><p><br /></p><p>I just hate those &quot;holes&quot; in my collection, and wanted one to fill mine. As it will be impossible to ever obtain an actual 1964-D Peace dollar, I forked out the cash to purchase an overstrike.</p><p><br /></p><p>Besides, I think its pretty clever of the private mint that issued these, to get around the counterfeiting laws by simply using an actual Peace dollar, and striking a 1964 date on top of whatever date the coin was.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, it is legal to do this. The law states that anyone who fraudulenty alters a legal tender coin is subject to fine or imprisonment. The key word there is fraudulent. In this case, the private mint fully disclosed this was an overstrike. No fraud, no foul.</p><p><br /></p><p>This coin looks wonderful in my Peace dollar collection!</p><p><br /></p><p>Take care.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1042515[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
