<p>[QUOTE="MatrixMP-9, post: 3982887, member: 93422"]To me a novelty is when I put 2 quarters in a machine with a penny and a press squeezes the penny flat, long and put some obscure design on it. I dont really care if anyone cares about my opinion but I dont like the idea of having a die that replicates a coin (replicates US currency) to the point that the average person would not be able to tell the difference thus using that coin without even knowing. Seems borderline shady. Was this Dan Carr making money from this directly or indirectly? At least independent coin makers make unique designs. The coin the OP is showing,,,how many average people would honestly be able to tell it was altered? I wouldnt. It would appear at best a little off or worn and thats it. The dies at the US mint seem almost sacred and IDK, just dont like it. With China and the rest making fakes, this just seems wrong.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
