<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dcarr, post: 2463702, member: 4781&quot;]The over-strikes seem to be viewed by some as &quot;edgy&quot;, and by many as &quot;controversial&quot;. I don&#039;t think that will hurt their long-term values. Similar characteristics have bolstered the values of some art pieces, such as those by Andy Warhol, for example.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding the differences of opinion in this thread -</p><p>They are actually quite tame compared to some that have been directed my way in the past. As a numismatist, I couldn&#039;t hope for a better job than the one where I get to have great fun making things I like, even though it is also hard work. The one downside of such success is dealing with the bitterness and jealousy of some people.</p><p><br /></p><p>In early 2008, shortly after I started making &quot;what if ?&quot; Union of North America &quot;Amero&quot; concept coins, I actually received two different death threats for making them. Yes, death threats for making a coin for the simple purpose of getting people to think about the ramifications of a North American Union. Ridiculous. The idiots thought I was actually responsible for a European-style monetary union for North America. Anyway, I didn&#039;t let that stop me - I&#039;m still making Amero coins (just not as many as I used to, due to the greatly diminished likelihood of an actual North American Union).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
