[QUOTE="chrisild, post: 2313722, member: 39"]Lazy bum. ;) See the first link below for example. And frankly, while I like many of Daniel Carr's own designs, these fantasy reproductions (or whatever they are called) are quite misleading in my opinion. If you are familiar with US coinage including dates and mint marks, you might easily see that this is not an actual coin. And Carr even [URL='http://www.dc-coin.com/1grabenercoinpressmedallionsaleprice-1-4-4-1-2-2-2-3-3-1-1-1-1.aspx']emphasizes[/URL] that they are not. Would not call this counterfeiting, as he has (AFAIK) never reproduced a coin that actually existed. Now I do not know much about US law with regard to such pieces. However, I wish they were easily distinguishable, either by using a different size or, as somebody suggested before, a "fantasy" mint mark maybe. FWIW, here is yet another new CT topic about Carr's reproductions: [url]https://www.cointalk.com/threads/my-new-carr.272724/[/url] Some of you may not know this, but [USER=4781]@dcarr[/USER] is a Coin talk member ...
