Here Is A Very Nice 1933 USA Gold Coin, REAL!

I have seen him at many shows, nearly everytime I show up to a table he is talking about the history of a coin rather than trying to sell you something. And yes he sells more than just medals and tokens, FS.

Here's what happened: Carr studied the 1955 doubled die, thought "How dramatic can I make it?", then ran out of copper pennies, so he decided to unleash the DDO and DDR on a spare $5 Indian he had, and on top of that he decided to date it 1933, one of the most historical dates in US coinage!

That's a cool one, to be honest.

 

Congrats! You've made it onto my ignore list. Your opinion is no longer in my feed at all. Good luck with your counterfeits!

 

Are you a Man or a Mouse?

 

Well I guess if you can't win then you take your toys and go home.
Sorry that that the facts just aren't on your side with this subject.

 

Or, in the case of the 58D DDO I posted. Dan used a VDB on the reverse.

 

Well, we proved this morning that this is a lie.... yeah, he used a subtle design difference, but he very clearly used a date and type combination that absolutely exists.

How does that fit into your narrative?

 

That's funny, I've never felt ripped off after purchasing something HE produced

 

Yes, we have. You come across as [best case] a curmudgeon that might well stick to his own posts. I quite agree with the above that each may collect what they choose and rather than coming across as you do, might just consider sticking to your own.

And you wonder why there are so many who are interested in such. I do believe Michael Jackson wrote a song about the man in the mirror....

Meanwhile, love the coin and the positive comments above!

 

very Nice
I'm a bit of a Dan Carr fan myself have the silver and brass versions of this strike

 

I think it would depend on if the 2020 dated hundreds were overprinted on genuine hundred dollar bills or not.

 

Some curious wording. I'm not a lawyer. So, how does one utter any false, forged, or counterfeit coin or bar? Cal

 

with intent to defraud
Which Dan lacks.. he is very clear these are fantasy pieces NOT for use as currency

 

Sort of like a Chia Pet.

 

I disagree with this completely. What you have is a fantasy piece, which in its best form is a novodel. That’s an official piece that was made with a set of dies made after the date that appears on the piece. The most famous examples are the 1804 Silver Dollars which were first struck in 1834.

Some of the Dan Carr stuff, like the 1964 Peace Dollar, is okay to a point. For those who want a filler for a fantasy coin that once existed, I suppose it’s okay.

Still these pieces which look like a real coin that bear a date that never existed are a recipe for trouble. Somewhere down the line, there will be a shyster who try to sell these things to a fish as “a recently discovered rarity.” It will be one more rooking that will give coin collecting a bad name.

As for your last sentence, the poster is, in fact, a scientist. His area of expertise is nuclear physics. Hence the name @physics-fan3.14.

 

Well, it's good news that some people here call this a "coin", because it must mean that one of the TPG's is now calling these coins. Which TPG has done this?

 

I don’t know that I would call it “good news.” These things are NOT coins. The legal definition of a coin is a piece that is recognized as legal tender by an issuing government. These things don’t qualify. They are really glorified “rounds.”

As for the TPGs, I have seen some of them in slabs, but I can’t remember which company off the top of my head. This stuff doesn’t interest me so I don’t clutter my mind with it. I guess you might call them “genuine certified copies.”
