<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kasia, post: 1413129, member: 31533&quot;]Krispy, </p><p><br /></p><p>I agree with you. To be a counterfeit, the intent has to be there to deceive, i.e. pass the object as if it were the original. Whether by the original issuer/alterer, or by a seller down the road. For instances, there are counterfeit Morgans, as well as other coins where the intent is to pass them along as the real deal, gaining the same amount of money for them as if they were real. Daniel Carr does not do this, so he is not counterfeiting. DC actually aims to get more for his designs and over-strikes than the real object would get. So in that, and as a stand-alone, his coins fail the counterfeit &#039;test&#039;. But, aside from his coins that use the CARRter Dollar and Altered States of America, along with his image instead of Washington, he actually does replicate the &#039;feel&#039; and &#039;design&#039; of the originals. So are those fantasy pieces? I don&#039;t think they really should qualify as &#039;fantasy&#039; as they are too close to the original to do that. More of a humorous Comedy piece or Satire coinage instead (mocking the state quarters --- like calling Wyoming the rectangle state). Fantasy should be reserved for those that offer original interpretations of coinage, which I don&#039;t see him doing that much of.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
