<p>[QUOTE="Silverhouse, post: 2463671, member: 29452"]Well the skinny around my area about D.C. is most of the LCS's around here have never heard of him. I took one in to show a dealer I know awhile back and he said it was "a good fake." I corrected him and said over strike. He was interested and looked up D.C. online. I would not recommend selling a D.C. over strike at a coin shop. ( he wanted mine but only wanted to pay melt!) Which I get, but there are those hardcore D.C. collectors out there who would pay more than that. </p><p> His over strikes, I think most would agree, are a specialty item. Now some of you yell counterfeit, and act as if the sky is falling, other's appreciate his over strikes for what they are. Also, don't fail to forget the numerous other designs Mr. Carr has come up with on his own. In fact I think some are far better than what's been chosen from the mint in recent years. Over strikes are one aspect of what he does. It's clear there is a "Counterfeit Camp" and an "Over Strike" camp when one of these threads gets going. As for the future of his over strikes, that is in the hands of the collectors, those that have interest in them. As long as there is a demand for D.C. over strikes, I think the future looks good. Collectors should know this, so the question future Carr over strikes? Has answered itself. IMO.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
