they are the same metal content and size of the circulating legal tender coins regardless of what date is put on these they are technically counterfeits. But the fact of the matter is THEY AREN'T COUNTERFEITS. No matter how you look at it they are not! They are US coins overstruck with dies bering a different date! That makes them US coins. NOT COUNTERFEIT. |

If you overstrike a coin to a non-existent date, it is no longer the original coin as struck, and becomes a counterfeit IN MY OPINION. Daniel Carr and whoever approved his shenanigans would disagree with me.
If you overstrike a coin to a different date that was actually minted, it is no longer the original coin as struck, and becomes a counterfeit IN MY OPINION.

Would these still be US coins and Not counterfeits ? how can they be counterfeits if they are baring dates that the government never struck? any coin even if it identical to a government issued coin cant be counterfeit if the government never made that date of coin to begin with IMO Feel free to call me Will.

For a coin to be counterfeit it must similar enough to the authentic coin so as to confuse an ordinary unsuspecting person. I believe a 1921 CC Morgan would confuse an ordinary person. There have been examples of Chinese counterfeit coins sold on ebay of coins the U.S. government never struck. If a crook sold a Dan Carr 1964 Pease Dollar as genuine, is it a counterfeit? Or if the Dan Carr 1964 Pease Dollar was used as legal tender to pay a debt, Is it a counterfeit? |

I am at a total loss as to why some people consider these Daniel Carr coins to be "Kosher"  They were not minted by the US Government, they are the same size and metal content as circulating coins, They are the same design with a denomination on them and they don't have "Replica, Copy or Fantasy" stamped onto the coin. If these were produced in China in the exact same way everyone would be screaming "Counterfeit" from the rooftops. Unbloodybelievable Edited by trout1105

Yes, Still a US coin with a face value of $1. It was issued from the mint and monetized at $1. The collectible value was never the question. |

But the Dan Carr coins actually were minted and monetized by the US Government. Before an alteration that did not change the monetary value of the coin Edited by Steele

It comes to me as absolutely NO surprise that the US coin market if rife with counterfeits with that sort of Logic  |

It seems that the US Mint was fleeced over a period of several years by the redemption of large quantities of intentionally-mutilated counterfeit US coins from China.
