rupester Pillar of the Community United States 1300 Posts	Posted 05/07/2014 02:00 am Just says it all.. Take it this is what happens when the mint doesn't destroy dies? 111345067632 Looks like a more modern coin design the reverse is not A or B the hair on washington looks 90's ish? Kinda a cool story.. And a Daniel Carr coin? This has me curious.. I am guessing it is a 100% novelty coin struck over a 90% silver coin?

Matteproof Pillar of the Community Korea, Republic Of 1881 Posts	Posted 05/07/2014 04:21 am It's a fantasy coin struck over a regular 90% silver Washington quarter. Daniel Carr is a sculptor who works with the Moonlight Mint. He prepares the fantasy coin dies to be used in an ex-Denver Mint Grabener coin press. His coins are "fantasy" coins. A 1933 quarter never existed, thus it's a fantasy coin. What he does is all legal, as he mints these on genuine silver quarters. Report this Post to the Staff
Waxemm Valued Member United States 450 Posts	Posted 05/08/2014 2:15 pm I like Daniel Carr's work. I own several of his pieces. He's done several of the fantasy coins. My favorite was the 1910-D Indian Head cent. Report this Post to the Staff

I really don't want to rekindle this argument yet again - we've this one more than once - but but that is no proof of legality. Report this Post to the Staff

Matteproof Pillar of the Community Korea, Republic Of 1881 Posts	Posted 05/10/2014 12:40 pm I really wish that there won't be a huge debate again about Carr. Some people like it, some people hate it, and some people don't care. The two sides won't agree with eachother. As simple as that. We have seen that - no matter which side is "right."
