<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dcarr, post: 2155303, member: 4781&quot;]I have produced quite a few different types of over-strikes since 2010. They have a collector following. I receive inquiries all the time asking when I am going to issue the next one and what will it be.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I saw an auction that was misleading and attempting to &quot;take advantage&quot; of bidders, I would report that auction to the administration. When my &quot;1964-D&quot; Peace Dollars began to sell for fairly high prices, some internet auction listings for Chinese-made &quot;1964-D&quot; copies were described as &quot;Daniel Carr&quot; pieces. I reported those auctions and they were cancelled.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regardless, a simple search on eBay would generally reveal what &quot;Daniel Carr&quot; over-strikes are, and what they usually sell for. For example, try searching for &quot;1933 Buffalo&quot; in the Coins and Paper Money category. All of those that are listed state &quot;Daniel Carr&quot; in the title. And the prices realized for them is generally higher than most other 1930s UNC Buffalo nickels.</p><p><br /></p><p>A far bigger pitfall that can engulf a new collector is the whole issue of cleaned coins. How many cleaned coins are listed for sale right now (uncertified) where the seller knows that the coin is cleaned but hasn&#039;t mentioned that ? If a person refuses to do a minimum of research on what they are buying then they will have a lot of trouble in life, especially outside of numismatics. If a person buys stock in a company without knowing what that company is or does, and then the company goes bankrupt, who is to blame (if anyone) ?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
