<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pickin and Grinin, post: 3331887, member: 73995&quot;]I am not sure where this thread can go from here, besides resorting to the same name calling, last word statements and a completely two sided conversation. One always trying to Hate on the other side. This is Why [USER=43130]@C-B-D[/USER]&nbsp; started the thread he did, it was appreciated. Because it started showcasing the Art Work that Dan is capable of. It has made more than public, the die characteristics and ability to identify his work. </p><p><br /></p><p>It was hinted on in the posts today, and stated as Dan&#039;s work is no different than the Chinese/ or knock off that is meant to deceive.</p><p>Please prove why you feel this is relevant to a case. Show us why his coins should need a copy stamp. Not because of how you interpret how the &quot;hobby act&quot; as it is written. Show us why his coins are deceiving, are they because those that are uneducated in the hobby might buy the coin &quot;because&quot; they didn&#039;t do enough research on the subject? Is there some excuse that because it looks like a half cent but really isn&#039;t good enough?<i> IMO it is the buyers responsibility to know what he or she is buying. </i></p><p>In todays age with the ability to research a known date and denomination, really an exception for playing the ignorance card? How far does the government have to go before placing the blame on the buyer? </p><p><br /></p><p>If anyone else has the &quot;Huevos&quot; to make a token or medal/ piece of art that can be identified, more power to them. Every one of Dan&#039;s O/S can be identified by die marriage, those stats and markers are usually given once production stops on every piece.</p><p>It gets ridiculous to here all these claims in defamation towards the Man trying to make a buck. So what, he found a niche that can&#039;t be governed, should that be enough to add such controversy to his name? </p><p><br /></p><p>I think Hate&#039;n has come lately because each side can&#039;t find a common ground between them. It gets difficult to speak our minds when we sit on different sides. Yet, it would be more beneficial if maybe we broke down the conversation.</p><p><br /></p><p>We just might find a resolution, because a court case isn&#039;t going to end this debate. This surely is ONLY a subject of Public Opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>Because those that are able to identify his pieces the supposed experts ones that watch his coins are being looked down upon. The more publicity and photos get the more his O/S are worth. How about lets keep our continual education on the characteristics of his pieces and use that to document his Fantasy pieces.</p><p>Really they are just that a &quot;Fantasy&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Credit is rarely due but I believe [USER=4781]@dcarr[/USER]&nbsp; should at least deserve some respect from the other side.</p><p>Just Sayin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
