<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dcarr, post: 1002631, member: 4781&quot;]I thought of that possibility (no, I wasn&#039;t considering doing it).&nbsp;&nbsp; If there is a potential that something could come into existence, then I would treat it the same as something that did already exist.&nbsp;&nbsp; For example, I wouldn&#039;t make a &quot;2010&quot; proof Silver Eagle overstrike until it was a certainty that the US Mint didn&#039;t issue them.&nbsp;&nbsp; And, if in 2011 I do make some,</p><p>they would have a permanent &quot;DC&quot; identifying mark like the 2009-DC &quot;proofed&quot; coins have.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I mentioned my reasoning for doing it the way I did.&nbsp;&nbsp; Mostly, I wanted to experience what it would be like to hold a freshly-minted 1964-D Peace Dollar in my hand.&nbsp;&nbsp; Judging by the email feedback I&#039;ve received so far from buyers of the coins, I&#039;ve made a lot of collectors very happy by allowing them to experience that as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>Most of what I do is my own original artwork on coins.&nbsp;&nbsp; These two (&quot;1964-D&quot; fantasy over-struck Peace Dollar and 2009-DC &quot;proofed&quot; Silver Eagle) are the only coin &quot;re-creations&quot; that I have done.&nbsp;&nbsp; Everything else I&#039;ve minted has been my own designs.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Art&quot; can be about more than just the thing itself.&nbsp;&nbsp; Sometimes, what happens to the work <i>after</i> it is made is part of the &quot;art&quot;. (See my previous post regarding &quot;Boggs&quot; in this thread on Friday, 3:20 AM).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
