Low 'Mintage' -- Y2K Technology

Indeed. Seems there's an abundance of thin skin on this thread.

Best answer I can give is if there's a way to either make coins artistically, like Carr (who IIRC, strikes over existing coins) striking them with dies he created, or any other means, someone out there is doing it.

Private mints now have the ability to turn out flawless proofs and correct-weight fakes. With silver prices being what they are, how long will it be before millions of silver plated ounces of copper are sold to small-time speculators? Are dealers going to have to insist on filing a notch and acid testing every round they buy?

SAP, I sincerely apologize to you and to the members and owners of this good forum.
I HUMBLY ASK that I be given a second chance in the hearts of those I offended.

I did a miserable job of wording my question and then I misunderstood and reacted to SAP's kind response. To those who were so kind as to point out my error, thank you, and I am sorry I did not catch on to my offense sooner.

To those who responded with a bit of humor, I appreciate it.

You've got to be kidding! IMHO, you have nothing to apologize for. You asked for an opinion. The knee-jerk reactionary should be chastised!
