Message:: [QUOTE="dcarr, post: 2176882, member: 4781"]You quoted my post before I had a chance to correct it as intended (see # 694). I wrote that you never wrote anything criticizing the carving of hobo nickels. But you did write something on the subject.In a previous post, about a 1905 Indian Head cent that was "hobo" carved to look like a cartoon character, you said it was "well done":<a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/1905-%E2%80%9Cwho-is-this-indian%E2%80%9D-cent.223874/#post-1656529" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/1905-%E2%80%9Cwho-is-this-indian%E2%80%9D-cent.223874/#post-1656529">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/1905-%E2%80%9Cwho-is-this-indian%E2%80%9D-cent.223874/#post-1656529</a> <img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/1905-funny-penny-640x480-jpg.242921/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> My point may not have been concisely expressed. All along it was intended to be this: You claim that my over-striking of a coin is "robbing the legacy" of that coin's designer. This even though my over-strikes are faithful to the original design but with only a one or two digit date change. But when it comes to an Indian Head Cent that was carved into a cartoon character, you called it a "good job". What about disrespecting James B Longacre and robbing his legacy by changing his original design in this fashion ? Your assertion seems incongruous. [/QUOTE]
