<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2177254, member: 36230"]Mr. Carr,</p><p><br /></p><p>The extent you're willing to take this deflection is simply unreal. "Never" in this thread, as I am sure you understood my post to mean, and never in my life are two different things. As for the "cartoonish" alteration of the cent, I indeed said and still feel it was well done... in CONTEXT. It clearly was not intended to be anything other than "cartoonish", so with that in mind, and considering the person, be him/her black, white, brown, green or what-have-you used their hands (as opposed to a computer, CAD, and CNC) to produce it, yes... it was, in my most humble opinion, well executed. Now, in another surely wasted attempt to get back on track, what does this have to do with you? You are NOT taking individual coins, and with the skill in your hands, turning them into something of your own design, but by your own admission are using computer programs and CNC machining to exactly replicate (COPY the original design) dies, changing only the order in which the digits used for the date were used, and against all common sense try to pass the design off as your own. My only real issue with you is your refusal to call a dog a dog; either the design is your own (and we all know they are not) or you're COPYING them. This is why I stated you are robbing the true designers of their legacy.. your refusal to simply admit the obvious; that your "overstrikes" are NOTHING more than copies of the originals, done not for collector enjoyment or any other deflective excuse you wish to offer, but to pad your pocket and promote your name and business. I can absolutely respect a man who sees a niche and does what he can to fill it, no matter how much he may or may not make in the process, but not one who refuses to admit the obvious, to himself and/or his customers, all while taking credit for something, regardless of copyrights or questionable legal issues, that it NOT his. It is really as simple as that, sir.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
