Fantasy pieces by a certain well known (and loved?) private mint. I don't care what they are struck on, they are just as much of a blight on the hobby as counterfeits from China, or elsewhere. Phooey

Where's the Disagree button when you need it?

why, if it makes him happy?

Go back and read what TommyType said. He was bashing Dan Carr's creations. He said they were as much of a blight on the hobby as Chinese counterfeits which I disagree with.

There is no real difference. The Chinese make off date coins too. Would you feel better if the Chinese began striking their counterfeit trade dollars over 1881-S Morgan Dollars? I don't think Alibaba intends to defraud either or they wouldn't sell better date Carson City coins and 1893-S Morgan counterfeits for under $100.

Edited: AliExpress has 1893-cc Chinese Morgans for $35 each. No one would be fooled... still looking for an 1894 cc though so maybe I need to make a custom order.

Gem proof gold classic commemoratives - very neat, but too esoteric and risky investments IMHO...
