<p>[QUOTE="1865King, post: 8334848, member: 103207"]I've never had a problem with Dan Carr's work. He is not counterfeiting US coins. Based on his ability he could really easily strike counterfeit coins and likely get away with it. By using dates that never existed or that were struck but never released like the 1964 -D Peace dollar means they aren't legal tender. The problem is when someone tries to pass them off as real. It's very unlikely that any coin dealer with half a brain would buy them as real if he did then he shouldn't be dealing in coins. As far as collectors I'm sure some could think they were real but, chances are most collectors would know they're not. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have a bigger concern with the Chinese counterfeit coins being sold on Ebay and on Facebook. On Facebook they use real coin images to sell their junk and it appears Facebook doesn't give a crap about the Chinese counterfeits being sold. These guys are producing coins with the intent of capital gain. They even have started to do it with common coins not just rare coins. These guys are the ones to worry about. They counterfeit anything to make a buck and have no problem claiming the coins are real when they're not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
