    Just got these in the mail today. I bought one of each date for each coin in the lower grade. Here is just one example of each. These are just quick ipod pictures, so they aren't great, but I think these coins are awesome!!

    At least DC knows how to get the rivets right on an SLQ. :)

    Too bad, he didn't engrave the dies for the gold merc. I bought awhile back! ...

    He did a wonderful job on these. I purchased the 1915-D SLQ , 1915-S Walker and 2 of the Owls.
    Man are those Owls impressive.

    They're not coins. They're tokens, right?

    No. Counterfeits with a wrong date.

    Sorry I find it hard to get into the "overstrike" counterfeits. When there's so many wonderful real coins to be bought. The owl bullion coins I get and like. But personally I wish DC would just stick to making beautiful contemporary pieces like this rather than the so called fantasy over strikes. Tho I might be a little more tempted if there was something like a 1870-s quarter or a 1878 p business strike trade dollar

    Bring on the controversy! An aspect inherently bestowed upon all great fringe artists :artist::headphone::D

    Mine came last week too. The quarters and the Owls are by far my favorites. Very pleased how they came out

    They are not even tokens, just fakes, whatever they choose to call them. At last, the Chinese have come ashore.

    I'd like a copy of his customer list, I have a number of genuine Brooklyn Bridges to sell.

    THANKS!!!

    I should have recognized the style on the 1.5 ounce coin, I have a couple of the Ameros (as in Euros) from Daniel Carr.

    I just went and took a quick look, their mintage is quite low, below/around 200. The price is high but the quality of the fantasy coin are quite good.
