<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dcarr, post: 1302013, member: 4781&quot;]Ok, I can understand that, for the most part.&nbsp;&nbsp; I don&#039;t expect everyone will want (or even like) these over-struck coins.&nbsp;&nbsp; But my main motiviation for making them is to have fun.&nbsp;&nbsp; I am a coin collector myself, and I think like one.&nbsp;&nbsp; And when I think of something that would be neat to have, I make it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, I could make high-quality fakes of actual US coins.&nbsp;&nbsp; But I have chosen to limit my activities to what is legal - changing the dates on existing coins to dates that don&#039;t exist.&nbsp;&nbsp; As long as I market them as modern private over-strikes, there is no problem.&nbsp;&nbsp; And my process for making them is a trade secret.&nbsp;&nbsp; Fortunately, even if an actual counterfeiter were to learn those secrets, they would still find it extremely difficult to replicate what I do.&nbsp;&nbsp; However, examining the characteristics of my over-strikes can help someone learn to spot actual counterfeits that may be produced using similar methods.</p><p><br /></p><p>PS:</p><p>Note that ANACS will certify anything I produce, including the over-struck coins.&nbsp;&nbsp; Of course, they are appropriately certified by ANACS as modern over-strikes.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;m probably the only person who has their own label used by a coin certification/grading copmpany.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.dc-coin.com/ProductImages/GP_25_G.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
