<p>[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 2164989, member: 37839"]Well, I like them. I consider them highly collectible, and think they are beautifully done. The restrikes are skillful adaptations of long standing designs, as fantasy (not counterfeit, but fantasy issues) coins, as they never existed in reality. The other coinage that Daniel does is very tasteful, skillful engraving and minting. So what makes them not collectable? As I have said so often, I collect classic series of Silver. To me, collecting these fantasy coins are no different than collecting any other issue from any other time or country. Just as a matter of interest, a friend who has been a longtime collector with extremely deep pockets looked at these coins and offered me $500 for my MS 69 1965D Peace Dollar. I declined, as I have no desire to sell it, or any of the other fantasy coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
