They are crystal clear:

>>The JFK Oversized Proof is a spectacular replica of the iconic 1964 JFK Half-Dollar. <<

It is clearly a collectible — why do you not think they made it oversized?

The case at point tried to pass of “Liberty Dollars” as “U.S. Dollars.” Not as collectibles (would you use a $295 oversized dollar as a buck?).

You are wrong on every possible angle on this one, my FRiend.

The Liberty “Dollar” was an attempt for a private person to substitute scrip for money. It failed, and rightly so.

I could open a mill tomorrow and start to manufacture “Bald Eagle Dollars” that looked cool and a lot like real silver dollars. I could also name myself “The U.S. Minting Supply” — and then sell them. I assure you, that would be exactly what happened here.

Why are you protecting scam artists? Do you have a ton of the now worthless Liberty “Dollars” and are hoping to at least get your original money back?

The coins are hardly ‘worthless’. The $20.00 Liberty Dollar is 1 ounce of 99.9% silver worth more than $34.00 in the silver market. Heck, at least this coin had actual metal value and not that ‘backed by the good faith’ of something we use now(excluding the nickel). I will gladly exchange my $20.00 ‘legal tender’ bill for a ‘scrip’ $20.00 Liberty Dollar anytime.
