New Daniel Carr Morgan Dollar

Neither does Dan. He clearly states they are non-legal tender, non-governmen issue, tokens using X design and overstruck on actual coins of said design. He doesn't call them coins however we do occasionally as a generic slip of the tongue term due to their host coin nature and similar design but with a fantasy date.

I go back and forth between considering them tokens or altered coins, but, ultimately it doesn't matter to me. I like most of what he's put out, although I didn't like the rendition of the faces on the Bessie Coleman and Sacajawea prototypes he struck.

 

Came to mind when I thought about all of the 'jibs & jabs', 'parry, thrusts', 'low blows' and 'no decisions' that occur every time Daniels name comes up.

Carry on.

 

Well, they may appreciate until they are declared illegal and seized for being counterfeits, or for not being marked in compliance with the HPA.

No one is denying that he has talent. He has loads of talent. His talent is huge. He's just squandering it with these counterfeits. His *original* works are often quite attractive.

Imagine Warhol or Picasso copying somebody else's work and claiming it as their own. They'd be laughed out of any respectable gallery.

Imagine Picasso painting over a Renoir canvas, changing a few details, and selling it again. Again, he'd be ridiculed for the absurdity of it. Sorry, your comparisons just don't add up.

 

When are you going to law school to get a federal prosecutor job to try and make the case? Till then they wont.

 

Warhol for sure, I mean anyone that would paint a Campbells soup can.....

 

He didn't produce his own Campbell's soup.

 

That one is not entirely an original design.
Also, the mintage on it is 10,000 proof and 40,000+ UNC.
That is a fairly high mintage for a private-mint item.

 

Whatever makes you feel better, bro!

 

Bernard Von Nothaus was actually convicted (wrongly so) of "counterfeiting". But none of his "Liberty Dollars" in collectors' hands were ever confiscated.

Say that with a Donald Trump accent

Warhol painted Campbell's Soup can labels. He replicated and colorized photographs that weren't his (such as this one of Marilyn Monroe: http://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/warhol-marilyn-diptych-t03093)

Neither you nor I, nor any other individual gets to dictate what is, and what is not, "art".

Not necessarily. Sometimes things are done in the art world to make a statement or to stir things up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fountain_(Duchamp)

 

"Warhol for sure, I mean anyone that would paint a Campbells soup can....."

Key word: paint....

 

Warhol didn't steal the product. Actually, he advertised the product for them in a complementary way. Unlike DC who defaces the original, strikes a copied design not truly his own, and refuses to simply add a "C" to that "D" Mintmark. But we've heard all this before. It's like a partisan voter, who no matter what happens, never changes his/her mind.

 

And this is supposed to mean what?

 

But the design does belong to him, and to me and to you too

 

Best answer. Thread over.

 

Dcarr correctly picked up on the fact that I was parodying the language Trump uses. It was satire.

 

I thought you were laying it on a tad thick*, but didn't catch it... Thanks.

*edited for spelling

 

Haha... no.

 

Yeah. People seem to forget that. Its like saying all the mattress & pillow companies can't use memory foam because it was created by a NASA contracted scientist

 

Is the claim false? The design is public domain.
