[QUOTE="dcarr, post: 2176424, member: 4781"]Once again you show considerable disdain for your fellow collectors who happen to like the fantasy-date over-strikes. Fortunately, you do not get to dictate to them what they should like and collect. The original designs are not copyrighted (they are public domain by law). I do not claim a copyright for my over-strikes, nor do I claim any sort of ownership over the fantasy dates. I do claim a copyright on [I]photographs[/I] that I take of any coin, whether it is one of my over-strikes or not. At present, eBay is full of Chinese-made non-silver non-over-struck "1964-D" Peace Dollars. There are 13 of them on there as of this moment. None of my "1964-D" over-strike Peace Dollars are listed by anyone at present. If, however, someone lists one of the Chinese pieces and attributes it as one of my over-strikes, I will report that auction and ask the seller to cease using that attribution. That has happened several times. The point is, my "1964-D" Peace Dollar over-strikes have their own unique characteristics which make them identifiable as my work and differentiates them from those with different origins.[/QUOTE]
