Quote:Just bought this one today. It was a 10min sellout. Only 13 minted with a limit of 1. Cost $200 and worth every overstruck cent! It's a 1916 WHL overstruck on a 2016 ASE. Very cool super low mintage item! That is just nuts!  A nice piece.  Quote: The die isn't a replica of the 1916 WLH. Notice the ring around it with lettering indicating the centennial as well as his DC initials. That's part of the die, not the ASE host coin I agree. The size is a bit off, too. This is no different than any other oversized fantasy bullion round. Like one ounce "bu ffalo nickels" and the like (which are often marked less clearly than the ring on this piece). Unlike the fantasy date over-strikes (we can agree to disagree), I feel these pieces are well with the realm of acceptable and legal counter-stamps. I do not think there would be any disagreement if Dan struck these type of items only.

There would be no spirited debates at that point...say boring.

A few pages back was this Quote: If you were to hand a random person a United States FRN that was designed to the same standards as all other FRNs, printed on the same linen paper, with the same inks and anti-counterfeiting measures, but .... ...you changed the series date to one that was one year different than a genuine number (like 2005 or 2010). Oh, these were printed over real notes that had the ink bleached out. Oh, these were printed with excess BEP equipment. Oh, these are originally sold for more than the value printed on the note, and it is stated in the sales material "Do not attempt to use these as legal tender. This product is NOT endorsed or approved by the Bureau of Engraving & Printing, US Treasury, or US Government." That should be OK, too, right?

If the denomination matches the security strip (ie it did not change) then I see no harm in that and I doubt the Fed's would either of were being done for novelty purposes

My first Carr gold! And it's pretty SWEET! It's a 3.9g 24k treasure cob struck in 2015. Very low mintage as only 9 were struck by Dan and another 20 were struck by Dave Emslie. This is a Dave Emslie struck piece. The gold treasure cobs are extremely rare and highly desirable. Such a beautiful piece!

I did not see it on the earlier photos, but the ring closest to the half dollar image is "transparent" (the original ASE image peeks through). That is really neat! You do not see stuff like that on a straight up copy with a fantasy date, which is why I think these original works better exemplify Dan's talent and artistry.

Yeah. I noticed that too. He must have cut a deep ring into the die to separate the designs

It is subtle, but adds that little extra to denote the shared history.
