IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Quote:If you don't like that one ...here is another https://www.ebay.com/itm/1887-cc-Mo...AOSwGJFagjy1 Now, that seller's out of Brooklyn, not Australia. He's asking $50 to start with no mention of replica or any such disclaimer. Used to be a time when counterfeiting was punishable by death. That's right, off with your head! We sure got soft. |

True, but even in the colonial era I don't believe anyone was ever actually put to death for counterfeiting. They did in England but not in the colonies. We did branding and cropping (cutting off all or part of an ear. Abel Buell, who made many of the dies for the colonial coins and I believe for the government's Fugio Cent, was branded and cropped for counterfeiting when he was young.) Even so, unless you can prove the guy in Brooklyn actually made the fakes he isn't counterfeiting. |

But really, if one is going to cointerfeit, wouldn't it make WAY more sense to counterfeit a coin that actually exists!?
