[QUOTE="dcarr, post: 1415080, member: 4781"]Whew, I just finished reading all 10 pages of posts in this topic. I'd like to comment on the one quoted above. "Fantasy coins" is only part of what I do. I make coin club medals, modern "pioneer" gold coins, all sorts of things. At the core of it, I think about what sorts of things I'd like to have as a collector myself, and then I make them. Simple as that. If I am also able to sell them to pay the bills, well, that is an added benefit. If I wasn't having fun and wasn't enjoying the things I make, I'd stop doing it. I don't offer anything that I wouldn't consider collecting myself. So the notion that I would think that any of my customers are "idiots" is completely false. Going from the state quarter program to private minting is a major step UP, not down, in my opinion. Lastly, a total quantity of 582 over-struck "1909-o" Morgan Dollars is not exactly "mass produced". At least, not compared to state quarters or most offerings by other public and private mints.[/QUOTE]
