[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 1393219, member: 15929"]Thats kind of a fair assessment but you have to consider that not every coin which Daniel produces will appeal to a lot of people. For example, the 1964-D Peace Dollar Overstrikes had an extremely wide appeal because of the mytique revolving around the coin. These were in fact produced but supposedly all destroyed. Folks cannot help but wonder if any survived the melting. And if they did, what would they look like. Remember, there are no photographs of this coin. None! The 1964-D Franklin, on the other hand, has absolutely no story behind it as it represents a "What If?" coin. None were produced (Too early in the production process), none melted and as such, since Kennedy had been assassinated and everybody "wanted" the Kennedy Half, nobody even bothered to consider a 1964 Franklin. The net result is that few folks [I]really[/I] care about a 1964-D Overstrike. I think the same could be said of the Eisenhower overstrikes in that, he's produced coins that only a select few individuals really care enough to order them. Everybody else just does not seem to be interested. If we're still around in 50 or a 100 years, that might change as it did with other famous and collectibly acceptable restrikes. But its far too soon to make any predictions at all. You either like them and buy them at the source or you don't.[/QUOTE]
