<p>[QUOTE="Numismania, post: 1914947, member: 28971"]Ya know, I would never accuse D. Carr of, well, let's say doing something underhanded (hell, it's illegal, with mandatory jail time), BUT, the perfection of the pieces he makes.....he gets his hands on the proper blank strips, he theoretically could make every denomination of a real date, and NOONE would have a clue. After all, he DOES use an old press straight from the Denver mint. Knowing that a lot think what he's doing is counterfeiting, he IS capable (physically, mentally, I really don't think he'd consider it) of making U.S. Mint quality coins...and again, on a new blank, who the hell could tell the difference? Look at how exact his Washington quarters and Roosevelt dimes and Kennedy halves were. Would it look like that on an unstruck blank? I STRONGLY believe it would. It's be like the Henning nickel all over again, but more precise...so precise, again, NOONE would be able to tell the difference between, say, a '98 Washie HE struck, and one that the Mint struck.....his equipment used to strike those exact same coins, and his dies are spot on....??? Anyone agree with it being able to happen, in THEORY???</p><p><br /></p><p>edited to correct spelling[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
