<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 2465487, member: 36230&quot;]How am I insulting you? You implied what you do is perfectly acceptable for a &quot;true artist&quot;, and I agreed; quit simple really. </p><p><br /></p><p>Even though I&#039;ve no expectations that you&#039;ll admit reality (and I do understand why), the fact is the designs are copied. We can play our little semantics game if you&#039;d like, but that&#039;s what they are. With the &quot;overstrikes&quot; in question, you did not simply incorporate certain past design elements into something of your own as with the other posted examples, but exactly copied the design, and for (obvious) good reason. It&#039;s the same reason why you refuse to incorporate more obvious identifiers into the &quot;overstrikes&quot;; a large &quot;DC&quot; mintmark would be a nice touch (imo), but you know as well as I that it would detract from the aesthetics of the original design. The act of producing very well may be an art, and for that I certainly do give you credit, but the design is just a copy, nothing less and nothing more.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am somewhat familiar with Mr. Boggs, and if memory serves me correctly, I believe his copies were done by hand. If wrong please do correct me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
