So how does Dan Carr get the printing plates for these coins? The general public isn’t supposed to have these plates

 

Two old guys with time and mischief on their hands!

 

Mr. Carr is a very accomplished engraver.

 

So he makes these plates on his own?

 

I am not entirely educated on his process. But yes, I do think so. I know he produces many of his own unique strikes. He certainly has the skill to produce them on his own.

 

Dan Carr is also the designer for the Rhode Island and New York State Quarters. He has been in the coin design business for quite a long time. He creates his own dies, bought a surplus coin press from the Denver Mint, and makes some amazingly beautiful tokens, medals, and fantasy over strikes. All his fantasy date coins are struck over genuine US coinage. The mint calls this "defacing" which is not illegal. It falls under the same category as "hobo" nickels.

Here is the reverse of that 1970 Peace Dollar above. I really want to get one of these as well. It is a true mind bender . . . . . .

Yeah, I should be working . . . . . .

Everybody in my office thinks that I am working...

 

So I was reading up on the companies origin... Clark Gruber was the founder of this Company in the 19th century... The US government bought them out later on... Then the Denver mint sold their coin presses to the company... then Dan Carr 3D sculpted these presses and now prints the coins

 

I like your dad

 

... you’re the only one in that boat... Our relationship is better... just not there yet

 

But we have the exact same interests... funny enough I had these interests long before I knew he liked the same things... we both collect coins, model cars, pens, and gems and stones

 

Oh man.... Now the "dad" gene kicks in..... Be patient. All sixteen year olds have a rift with their dads. It is the way of things. Just be patient. Once your hormones settle down a bit you and your dad will become the best of buddies.

 

Dan Carr makes "fantasy" coins that some people like and others hate. Use the search function at the top for Dan Carr.

 

We also have the same styles, love video games, like cars, same mind set, and we love jewelry.

 

He’s an artist no argument there... he makes coins nobody could have if he didn’t make them

 

And actually we have some new members who want to cause trouble who should be in school or at least on-line with school stuff. For those who are still in school, what do you think of the "distance learning"?

 

sounds like a story there...

 

Wish I had an opinion on that online school stuff.

After eight years of middle school and another seven years of high school I "aged out" - long before the interwebz became a "thing" . . . . . . .

Ah yes, those seven years of high school were the best years of my youth . . . . .
