<p>[QUOTE="SirCharlie, post: 1299334, member: 17255"]I like it. I think DC is a very talented artist and sculpter, and has done whatever it takes to acquire the equipment so he could mint many beautiful coins, Hard Times Tokens, Fantasy coinsm as well a many other original works of art, gold and silver. Throughout time, there have been years that people wished the US Mint would have made a certain coin, or a certain type, and I think it's great that he has found the niche and minted these Fantasy pieces. My favorite will always be the 1964 Peace dollar, and another recent one would be the 2009 American Silver Eagle proof that the US Mint skipped over and did not mint, for whatever reason. Maybe they were too busy, maybe they didn't have the blanks, but at least somebody thought it was important enough to mint, and is now an important part of many of today's collections that otherwise have been an empty hole.</p><p><br /></p><p>Everybody is not going to like them, but that's fine too.
