[QUOTE="dcarr, post: 2155265, member: 4781"]Here are a few differences: Big Tree Mint products: 1) Usually not actual silver. 2) Not struck over genuine coins. 3) Do not have a track record of market value appreciation over time. 4) Produced in China by anonymous workers. 5) Are produced in large unpublicized quantities. 6) Are not announced to the numismatic world as what they are. Daniel Carr / Moonlight Mint products: 1) & 2) Over-struck on genuine US coins of the same type - so the silver content is the same as the original host coins. 3) Have a demonstrated price appreciation history. 4) Produced in the USA by a known artist, using a US Denver Mint surplus coin press. 5) Are produced in relatively small quantities and all mintage statistics are published. 6) Identification diagnostics and origins are clearly published.[/QUOTE]
