Nothing but another damn piece of counterfeit garbage.

 

Yikes...
Fantasy stuff.
I've got a couple pieces, wouldn't consider them garbage.

This thread was posted to create a fight. Nothing more.

 

It's beautiful. I've got a couple. No different than what Bowers, Bashlow, Landis, and Grove have produced in the past.

If it were an issue, the government and third party graders would take issue with it. It and his other work will be regarded well by history.

Inappropriately slandering a legitimate work product reveals a world view inconsistent with our honored American work ethic.

I suggest then that you recant your thoughts and not fulfill your own prophecy.

 

Sorry, I won't recant my opinion but I will respect your right to have a different opinion.

 

I only collect real coins.

 

Do you require assistance? Should one of us call the police and report the person with the gun to your head forcing you to reply?

 

In all fairness. I don’t think that old Zoid has been around these parts longe enough to realize that Moonlight Mint is a fuse to a powder keg here on CT. I totally get his fascination with Carrs stuff. Carr is a talented engraver and when you been looking at US coins for decades, I suppose looking at a Carr creation can offer a fellow a fresh look at something different.

But give Zoid a break. He’s a good old boy and now that he knows there are some strong feelings here on the forum he will know what to expect in the future.

 

The original coin is better, but, of course, it's a lot more expensive in high grade. I too wish the Carr could refrain from making this type of material.

 

i love the Flying Eagles. I wish that I could afford an 1856. I have 3 1857 and 3 1858, although you can imagine the quality if I can afford 3 of each. It wasn't until after I bought the first 1857, that I found out the 1856 was more than the cost of my home. Thanks for sharing your FE.

 

These are not authentic coins because they are re-struck on a previously struck authentic coin? Out of curiosity, what is the appeal of collecting an overstrike? I don't really see the purpose.

 

What chaps my azz are those that seek to limit or restrict MY rights of free expression through threats, inflammatory statements, lies, and intimidation.

Projecting ones disdain as a standard for OTHERS to live by is antithetical to the freedoms we enjoy. Nowhere has Carr's work been judged to be illegal. Declaring it to be so is either ill informed (ignorance, willful in this case) or intentional slander. You pick.

Requiring me and others to live by "some agreement" that I myself have never made, nor can I find ANY evidence of others agreeing to, is a concerted effort to restrict one's right to free expression.

Where am I wrong in this?

They are exonumia, like any other token, medal, so-called dollar, or store card.

I suspect each of you has some object of exonumia in your posession, therefore the above is self contradictory.

Hate for the creator of this art is clouding rational thinking.

That is not the point. What I don’t like about these Carr pieces that are exact copies of real coins with a fantasy date is the harm they might do in the future. Somewhere in the future I could see an unethical dealer marketing these things as “previously unknown” clandestine strike, like a 1913 Liberty Nickel.

 

There are many people that have very strong feelings about Carr’s items here. However, there are no regulations that I’m aware of regarding what kind of exonumia people may or may not collect. Granted, Carr’s works can easily be mistaken as numismatic pieces to the unknowing. IMO, they should be accompanied by and stored with appropriate documentation.
