Absolutely! Each of us defines how we enjoy this hobby. Its ridiculous for someone to try to dictate to someone else how to have fun.
Yeah...I was not too popular in my high school class of over 600 b/c I refused to even acknowledge the peer pressure almost everyone else gave into (fads/mindsets/habits etc.)

As mentioned, the 1917
Peace dollar gives an idea in hand of what
Peace dollars were supposed to look like in design, and they are made to look so much better b/c they are high def. details. The design is a lot prettier to me with his in hand (I don't have a legit 1921 to compare).
When I was a kid I dreamed I had found a 1975
Ike dollar that was not a bicentennial, just a 1975 dated Ike. I also dreamed I had found a 1975 half dollar as well. The dream did not go away for a long time.
Daniel Carr made overstrikes of a 1975 (normal) the Ike and 1975 Half. It literally was like I had a dream come to reality when I held mine in hand. It was kind of a weird feeling of excitement/fun. I know these coins are not "real," but when in hand they are exactly what a mint-made one would be like.
I put the halves into my Kennedy lineup b/c I like to see if someone I show the set to notices. The reaction can be very funny.
