Quoth atomicthumbs View PostLike this one?
i mean it's one thing to make a collector's coin... and another thing to try make it resemble US currency... and then do a horrible job at doing it.
later when I have time I'll scan one of my collector coins in and post it...
the one i just pulled from my pocket is made by nwtmint.com (tho i'll prolly put it in a different thread)

I certainly hope you've learned your lesson and will stock all sorts of Obama merchandise in the future! You must put together a dedicated Barack Obama section to atone for your sins!
(If they come back, tell them that you have some Bush plates left over and they're almost as patriotic. )

Quoth Ironclad Alibi View PostThat is a legal US coin. Someone just painted Obama's picture on it. A lot of the collector coins are painted US coins. They are still legal, but have a picture painted on them. The earlier cite from the US Mint was saying the painted coin was not a US Mint product. The coin beneath the paint is still a legal coin.
i mean heck, let's all start painting our loose change!.... i'll have to look it up but... my first instinct is that panting anything on a quarter would be illegal.
and as for my original comment about obama on a coin im referring to the official mint currency images, not what joe shmo does with a paintbrush.
like the jfk coins that came out after he was killed etc.

after reading that, i'm not sure if you can use the obamaquarter as legal tender. though i am sure different people will want to interpret the law differently.Last edited by PepperElf; 02-13-2009, 11:55 AM.

Quoth LibraryLady View PostHow much is a mug from Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee worth today? At the time, almost every kid in the UK had one.
$375

Quoth Broomjockey View PostThat's why first-run twonies were so much fun. They punched holes in themselves! One kid in my class got the outer part stuck on his finger, and the shop teacher had to use the band saw to cut the metal off.I AM the evil bastard!

o man i feel bad for those guys.... they believed they were buying official US mint coins, issued with obama's face etc...
I already posted when a coin like that can be issued (one year after death) but I guess some people didn't know that ... or assumed the mint would ignore their own laws just for the special occasion.
seriously... they'd have been better off getting their own coins made. they wouldn't be official currency but they'd look a hell of a lot better than just a 50-cent piece with a sticker on it!Last edited by PepperElf; 02-16-2009, 04:49 PM.
