<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1300330, member: 19065&quot;]I&#039;m far from over reacting Chris. I&#039;m taking a strong stance against the ignorance on parade in this thread, for which you happen to be an agent of in this instance. There&#039;s no slinging mud except from your camp. As usual your casual comments have you on the defense again in yet another thread. If you wish to deflect such critique of your initial posts, then put more thought into them the first place. As it were you came off sounding rather brash and woefully uninformed. In your own words, &quot;wish he would <u>start</u> directing his talents toward original designs of his own&quot;. If you were so <u>aware</u> of his other work then why ever use that poor choice of words to begin with. One would think a collector such as yourself, particularly with a fair number of Morgans and various medals you&#039;ve shared in this forum, would be more on point when it comes to Mr. Carr&#039;s work and furthermore at your advanced years in the hobby, be able to discern his operation from that of deceptive counterfeiters work. As I stated it&#039;s <u>not</u> DC who is inspiration for counterfeiters but rather the fact that the numismatic market is profitable, that people can easily&nbsp; be deceived, and in turn relieved of their money. <i>That</i> is what is<u> inspirational </u>for&nbsp; counterfeiters-- to profit from unsuspecting consumers by way of deception. To underscore this, if you feel Carr is a counterfeiter, then go report it the Secret Service and we&#039;ll see what the response happens to be. Had authorities cause for enough concern, they could easily shut him down, yet he is open for business. If you have an instance of Carr&#039;s work having been used for or even attempted to be passed off as another authentic piece, then speak up. There have been no convictions of Carr as a counterfeiter, but there have been a number of uninformed, misguided and crude accusations in the form of &quot;opinions&quot; that declare the thing fact and even that this is &#039;closed for discussion&#039;. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Respect is hard earned.
