New Daniel Carr over-strike coins

The 1.5oz owls sold out in an hour or so and now go for 2-3 times issue price on the bay with only 1 or 2 listed at any given time if you're lucky.

I can't ever recall getting any piece from him where I ever had complaints about the quality. He does do some very fine work.

 

I tell you what. When you have as close as a copy of the brooklyn bridge as these coins are to the real thing, I will buy it from you, even knowing it is a copy. Deal?

 

That's funny

 

You guys need to ask Peter to start a "TOKEN CHAT" forum. This Carr stuff doesn't belong in Coin Chat.

 

or a exonumia forum

 

Well he is. But what if I buy one from him and sell it as the rare 1915 Mercury pattern? Where's the difference to the counterfeits made by our Chinese friends?

 

All the pattern coins that I've seen have been proof coins.

 

The sweet and simple truth..... no fuss, no fluff, no nonsense. Kudos, sir; kudos.

 

Somebody who doesn't know much about coins probably wouldn't know that either. And there are countries which issued business strike patterns in the past.

 

Valid point, all the US Mint pattern coins I've seen were proof.

 

The haters are so funny. They just don't get it and that's ok but it is hilarious. You all remind me of city council members grumbling about the "graffiti" Banksy just painted on your freeway overpass.
Bring it on

 

I don't think haters is an appropriate word. I don't hate snow, I just don't want any.

 

Carr's work is extremely interesting. I can't see where anyone who buys one doesn't know exactly what they're buying. No, I don't buy them. They simply are not in my collecting interest. Obviously, others enjoy them.

 

Then you would be the dishonest seller trying to scam someone.

 

Nothing whatsoever. The difference - and this is codified in law - between your examples and DC is intent.

 

Daniel Carr needs to do a gold coin overstrike.

 

It's entirely appropriate. You don't need to literally hate something to be a hater

 

Wouldn't it be delicious if he overstruck the gold Mercs with FB examples?

 

"Haters" implies ignorance and suggests any dislike or lack of appreciation is due to something other than the simple and intelligent questioning of what the "overstrikes" really are. It's certainly an unfortunate choice of words. Perhaps those of us on the opposite side should likewise lower ourselves, yet take a still higher road, and start referring to fans as "mice", "fools", or "sheeple"? This, of course, would result in sniffles, and there's little worse than watching grown hypocrites cry.
