<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Morgandude11, post: 2154487, member: 37839&quot;]I think you&#039;re a bit inexperienced in the coin collecting world.&nbsp; I do collect high end Morgan dollars that are slabbed, and lots of other silver coins.&nbsp; Do I think that Mr. Carr&#039;s are counterfeit?&nbsp; No, and I was skeptical at first.&nbsp; They are fantasy coins, and are not sold as genuine 1916 non-existent Barber Halves--that would be deceptive.&nbsp; They&#039;re advertised as restrikes, and slabbed by ANACS as &quot;tokens.&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp; There is nothing to stop you from buying your own press, quantity of older US coins, and doing an artistic restrike.&nbsp; The problem would be selling it as if it were a genuine Barber half, which it is NOT, and advertised as such.&nbsp; Obviously, Mr. Carr&#039;s lawyers have investigated the counterfeit laws extensively, and find that this meets the specifications of the law.</p><p><br /></p><p>Initially, I was critical of his work, until I saw it.&nbsp; I even posted several comments on multiple threads that I thought he was doing cheap reproductions.&nbsp; Daniel Carr posted here, and there was a long and intricate discussion.&nbsp; My decision was to see for myself, and after ordering a few Carr pieces, I find his work to be of the highest quality, and extremely interesting.&nbsp; My suggestion to the people who don&#039;t like his work is NOT to buy it.&nbsp; A number of us do collect his coins (tokens, or whatever you want to call them), and know that they are fine art.&nbsp; I definitely did a 180 degree turn-around on his work, and now purchase it, and wrote a public apology to Daniel Carr, stating that his work was of high quality, and definitely worthy of any collector who desired to collect that genre.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
