ON THE 1964-D PEACE DOLLAR

Fred Schwan writes: "After seeing several items in the
E-Sylum about the 1964-D Peace dollar I got thinking
about it, the 1933 double eagles, and the fantasies that
we see advertised on television not to mention newspapers.

It seems to me that using the skills demonstrated by the
firms selling the various copies/replicas that a person could
have 1964-D dollars struck and sell them without the "Copy"
marking because 1) they would not be counterfeit because
they did not copy any legitimate US coin 2) and they would
not fall under the Hobby Protection Act for the same reason.
If that is too close to a call, the person could create the same
dies and strike copper or other patterns of the non-coin.
What a hoot it would be!"

[I'm not so sure that technicality would get one off the hook
for manufacturing a copy. The date is a relatively minor
portion of the design, and by that reasoning I could safely
produce nice, legal replicas of 1996 series $100 bills with a
"1995" date. J.S.G. Boggs has never been convicted of a
crime for imitating U.S. currency, but his bills have many, many
points of difference with real U.S. paper. Thoughts, anyone?
