Why don't we go find an unused coin press, say the old # 1 machine still sitting in the old Carson City mint, fire it up when no one is around, and then make a half dozen 1879-CC dimes, a few 1875-CC quarters with Arrows, and maybe even a couple 1889-CC $10 Eagles to really stir up the pot.
To make things appear original, we can melt down real CC dimes, CC quarters and an CC eagle or two using coins from immediately adjacent years to our historically unknown dates. The coin planchets will then be made using original metal.
We then approach a big dealer or auction house once every few years to set up the historic release of one or two coins at a time, using a different alias each time and swearing the marketing agency to confidentiality (which they willbe glad to do in order to add more intrigue and ultimately ramp up the prices and, in turn, their fees).
We make sure to hold on to half of the coins that we have minted because even if/when they eventually figure out that the released coins are all frauds, they will eventually be accepted into numismatics in exactly the same way as the 1913 Liberty Head nickels.
Perhaps in twenty years or so, they will be touted as "The Pinnicle of American Numismatics" or some similar BS dreamed up by some marketing guy. By then, they will all have names like The unique "Blu62Vette Example", or the famous "Belay Off Specimen".
We won't care what they call them since we'll be selling off our few remaining coins later for millions of dollars. All it takes is a little patience and some good marketing.
