From my experience, that is close to how it works, but not exactly right. A friend of mine was actually on the show with one of my "1964-D"...
Maybe a dozen. I had a few express their displeasure with my work even before I did my first over-strike. But I'm not in it to gain the maximum...
I think you may not be considering the number of "fans" that I gained as a result of the "1964-D" fantasy-date Peace Dollar over-striking.
I wouldn't call it "disgraceful", but I would say that it is certainly "undesirable" (at least to me, anyway). The GM 3.8 ("3800") V6 of that era...
I believe that ANACS tends to use that slab for non-problem promotional items that are not being assigned a numerical grade. The "softer" plastic...
I was certainly aware that the RWD Cutlass was last produced for the 1988 model year, and the first FWD Cutlass was first produced for the 1988...

The death threats I received for making those 2006 Amero coins came prior to my acquisition of the press. One of the ANA Summer Seminar classes...
"Repeatedly" ? No. I used that term in one thread titled "Just got the elusive 1916 Barber Half...."...
That you argue with multiple other posters here, calling them "fanboys" and such, is evidence that you DO think anyone with an opinion different...
So what you are saying is, anyone with an opinion different than yours is incapable of understanding.
You continue to claim that there is no difference between my fantasy-date over-strikes and Chinese pieces. But then you contradict yourself and...
The only opinion that ultimately matters is that of the Judge and/or Jury.
The characteristics which differentiate my fantasy-date over-strikes from Chinese pieces DO make a difference. That is my opinion. Your opinion is...
I strike over an existing coin. I'm not making a new coin. I'm altering an existing coin. Now, for your Vermeer example - If you took a...
Your hypothetical scenario is way off. This would be more applicable: Take an original Vermeer painting. Repaint over part of it. Then offer it...
All art is inspired by (is a copy of) something that came before it. By your logic, because technology is used, photography (for example) can't be...
I have several points to refute that: 1) The fantasy-date over-strike coin designs in question are, by law, public domain and can not be...
I don't have to give credit to the author of that quote if I don't feel it is necessary. You fail. A while back you said that I was "robbing...
