<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jack D. Young, post: 8331025, member: 93371&quot;]From a web site article I read &quot;The reason these are not illegal is odd, but according to Daniel himself, the Mint and the U.S. Government agree that he is doing nothing wrong. What he does is use genuine coins and over-strike them with his designs.</p><p><br /></p><p>The dates Daniel uses are dates that never existed and every coin sold has a disclaimer with it that states <i>“Do not attempt to use these as legal tender. This product is NOT endorsed or approved by the US Mint, US Treasury, or US Government.”&quot;</i></p><p><br /></p><p>And if they are &quot;attempted to be used as legal tender&quot; does that make them <b><i>counterfeit</i></b><i>?&nbsp;&nbsp; </i></p><p><br /></p><p>Is it the overstriking on a genuine coin, the use of non mint made dates or both in combination that grants them non-counterfeit status?</p><p><br /></p><p>One of his pieces is a 1919 dated &quot;Peace Dollar&quot;, a date not included in the mint struck series.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1476748[/ATTACH] </p><p style="text-align: center">Carr 1919 Peace Dollar</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p><p>On Carr&#039;s web site there is a page illustrating &quot;Unauthorized replicas of Daniel Carr coins and other items incorrectly attributed to Daniel Carr&quot;. Seems kind of ironic, fakes of his &quot;fakes&quot;...</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://moonlightmint.com/fakes.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://moonlightmint.com/fakes.htm" rel="nofollow">http://moonlightmint.com/fakes.htm</a></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1476749[/ATTACH] </p><p style="text-align: center">&quot;Chinese Replica&quot;</p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
