<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2603764, member: 71723&quot;]By the way, am I still permitted to enjoy Carr&#039;s &quot;craftsmanship&quot; in his fantasy restrikes without agreeing that it makes him some great medallic artist? I do like his pieces, I try to buy several, but frankly, his original work has a lack of detail that leaves me a little &quot;underimpressed&quot;. Especially his humanoid likenesses I find slightly &quot;cartoonish&quot;. That said, I own some, and will likely own some more. Aesthetically, I prefer his fantasy date stuff.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just the skill in correctly creating dates that never existed is a nice piece of craftsmanship worthy of its own praise category.</p><p><br /></p><p>Heck, even the U.S. Mint couldn&#039;t make a 1918 Buffalo nickel without the date getting larger from left to right, and couldn&#039;t make an FDR Presidential dollar that didn&#039;t look more like Don Rumsfeld.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
