From smalldollars.com "Renowned paper money artist J.S.G. Boggs has created his version of the Sacagawea dollar. Molded in orange plastic, his set consist of 6 "coins". Each "coin" features a different date/mint mark combination. "1984 CH", "FUN 1999 B", "FUN 2000 J", "2000 M21", "FUN 2000 G", and "FUN 2001 S". A total of 100,000 Boggs' Sacagawea dollars were made."

How he managed to avoid a counterfeiting conviction is a story in itself. I briefed some of these links but couldn't get a good portfolio of his work. Do you have pics to post, ikeyPikey?

ikeyPikey Rest in Peace United States 233 Posts	Posted 04/24/2018 12:02 pm I think that it is okay to load the CCF servers with custom images not available elsewhere, eg, photos of our little treasures. Freely-available images one click away, not so much. If there were a particularly telling or informative image that was hard to find, I'd make make the exception that proved the rule, but I cannot imagine what that would be.

ikeyPikey Rest in Peace United States 233 Posts	Posted 05/13/2018 10:17 pm . My local public library had a copy of *Boggs: A Comedy of Values*, by Lawrence Weschler, 1999.

I'm 61 and the paper is full of obituaries of people younger than me who never abused drugs. Maybe it was diabetes? Or a car crash? Do you have some insider information? Report this Post to the Staff

Pauldog Valued Member United States 325 Posts	Posted 04/07/2019 9:44 pm "Moreover, counterfeiters have apparently taken to forging Boggs notes, and a collector in Chicago has even started to specialize in these forgeries -- which...has made Boggs wonder whether he can get in on the action, by doing some of the forgeries himself." From this article in The Atlantic: https://www.theatlantic.com/magazin...tist/308425/ Back in 2001, Boggs got permission from the German Senate for his "Making Money" exhibit in Berlin: http://web.archive.org/web/20050403113635/http://www.jsgboggs.com/utf-8.html (Copy and paste the URL if you have trouble getting it to work.)
