<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Elbesaar, post: 1418165, member: 26007&quot;]Regardless of who thinks that these Fantasy Creations are &quot;Copies&quot; - </p><p>or - &quot;tokens&quot;, I think they are just what they are intended to be : Fantasies.</p><p><br /></p><p>I saw the 1964-D Peace Dollar that a friend bought a year </p><p>or so ago and was attracted to it - but at the retail level my </p><p>friend paid for it, I decided not to get one. </p><p><br /></p><p>Recently, I thought the Brass issue of the 1861 Confederate States </p><p>Double Eagle would be a neat addition to my 1861 Mint Set </p><p>( my Great Grandfather&#039;s birth year ).</p><p><br /></p><p>When I inquired about getting one, they were sold out. </p><p>However, Mr. Carr mentioned that he would be producing </p><p>two special Strikings of this Fantasy Piece. One would be</p><p>an over strike on a Type One Double Eagle </p><p>( which I would have to provide ) and a Bullion strike with</p><p>.999 Fine Gold - and the edge would be imprinted with this</p><p>information.</p><p><br /></p><p>The bullion version was what I opted for and I had the </p><p>Confederate Double Eagle sent to ANACS for encapsulation </p><p>( as a safe guard against any possible handling mishaps. )</p><p><br /></p><p>I also am a huge fan of Standing Liberty Quarters -</p><p>so, it was a natural for me to get the 1931-S ( first issue ) . </p><p>I have every intention of getting this SLQ in a Capitol Plastic </p><p>Holder - and use it as a paper weight. </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s not that I am trying to pull the wool over anyone&#039;s eyes </p><p>with regards to these two pieces, I enjoy them, and I know </p><p>what they are. When my estate has to deal with the disbursal </p><p>of my holdings, I know that knowledgable Numismatists</p><p>will ferret out these these pieces and advise my heirs of their </p><p>true value. I have already advised the executor of my estate </p><p>of these pieces.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
