These are considered completely legal...one ounce silver and copper rounds (coins). Why are these OK and Liberty dollars not OK?

The key difference is that Nothaus put "$20" on his coins, not "one ounce." That violates the counterfeiting laws. (It also makes him a fraud, because his "$20" coins only contained about $8 worth of silver at current market rates.)

They are not legal because the govt went about proving they weren’t and convinced a jury that was less than fully informed that their side was correct. JUST US with the power will decided JUSTICE.

Possibly for the “$20”. Your rounds only say what they’re made of and how heavy they are.

They don’t use the word “dollar.”

I think the problem was the use of the word “dollar” on the coin. I have a variety of silver bullion coins from private makers that have USA themes, but none say dollar on them.
