Part of their complaint specifically mentioned the 2009 &quot;proofed&quot; Silver Eagles. The complainer didn&#039;t like that I was adding my DC &quot;designer&#039;s initials&quot; to a coin that I didn&#039;t design, as if I was claiming it to be my work. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie46" alt=":facepalm:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>My rebuttal to that complaint pointed out that the &quot;DC&quot; was technically a mint mark, and that the &quot;JM&quot; initials of the original designer were still visible on the coin after the over-striking.</p><p><br /></p><p>I use my &quot;signature&quot; (&quot;DC&quot; in a circle or just a plain DC) on designs that are my own.
