It is listed in the category "party and festive supplies".

So buy it and have a party-to drown your sorrows at being ripped off.

My interpretation is that the company's name is 1791 of the United States and that they make replicas similar to those of Dan Carr at Moonlight Mint. Or so that was what I gathered reading all the fine print. The biggest question, why 1791? The United States mint was founded the following year.

I want that! What could be more rare than a CC coin produced before the mint was built and before Nevada was a state. I'm ready to mortgage the house for that one.

Why are these website allowed to operate? If it was selling drugs, the FEDs would be all over it and the owners going to jail.

No they wouldn't because the site is outside US jurisdiction. They might have some jurisdiction is the hosting server is located in the US, but all they could do would be to shut down the server and they would simply move to another one. Or are you suggesting that the Government start censoring the internet like they do in China, Iran, probably Cuba etc. Only let you see what they want you to see.

Only 79 years before the Carson City Mint was even opened too! LOL I always get my coins from online companies that specialize in women's workout clothing too.

I have this coin, bought it for $2.50 on Amazon for kicks and giggles. It's the stupidest thing I've ever seen, actually even worse than the picture. A lot worse in fact, see for yourself. Apparently there's a Chinese conspiracy to elect Republicans through subliminal messaging on counterfeit coins, who knew?

Just wonderful. Do the Chinese only have four toes, by the way?

Too many things wrong with this one to suggest an intention to deceive, so
I figure that it can't even be called a 'fake'.
'Fantasy copy' would be more appropriate.

Those with no knowledge about coins would never be interested.
Even to those with only a basic knowledge of Trade dollars would shy away from this one.

Should be withdrawn from sale at the asking price, because it is an obvious rip off.
I am always suspicious and dislike those who support the idea of
'never give a sucker an even break'- they are usually more dishonest than the average sucker.
