<p>[QUOTE="Cascade, post: 2463552, member: 75984"]Exactly. The haters just don't get that but they <i>are</i> entitled to their ignorant opinion (no malice intended) and honestly all great fringe artists are viewed with such dichotomy. My go to analogy is Banksy. Most think he is a genius while others think his work is just graffiti that needs a pressure washer. I actually like it, they do a great service in getting more people to check him out and thereby gain more fans which drives more sales for him and higher premiums in the aftermarket for us. Bring it on guys. Let's put a little more coin in dan's pockets as it were <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie80" alt=":shame:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie47" alt=":greedy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>As for his press, it's a decommissioned Denver Mint Grabner press he bought at a surpluss auction in 2008. He also was the designer of 2 state quarters, NY and I think Rhode Island. He is very meticulous and ethical about his overstrike designs. He won't create an issue that can be altered to imitate an actual us mint coin and uses actual coins as planchets which is why they are overstrikes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
