<p>[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 8334876, member: 27832"]For those who believe Carr is damaging the hobby: would you be equally as unhappy if someone started doing a <i>really really good</i> <i>job </i>of, say, attaching S mintmarks to 1964 Kennedy dollars? Modifying 2017-P Lincolns to make them 2011-P's? Would it be OK if they marketed them as a hobo-nickel-style project?</p><p><br /></p><p>One of the main arguments seems to be "but what happens when they fall into the hands of an innocent neophyte collector who thinks he's found a Major Rarity"? That's certainly a thing that can happen. Just look at the unending flow of new parking-lot finds in the Error Coins forum. I don't think it's grounds for prosecution or prohibition. (Well, if someone wants to use it as an argument for prohibiting the manufacture of Zincolns, I certainly won't stand in their way.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
