    carr



    you need to take things to a higher level, do something of the cuff so to speak



    go beyond coins, look into other areas and then figure out how your talent can become even better



    this way you can keep things fresh and interesting

    I still find in interesting that Carr's 1916-D Mercury Dimes (as struck on the 1 oz silver rounds) were crafted with better detail and precision (and look a hell of a lot better) than the 2016 Gold Mercury dime produced by the Mighty US Mint and all its resources.

    Thanks,
    The engraving detail on the fantasy-date over-strikes is better than the centennial silver rounds, in my opinion.

    Unfortunately there isn't a lot of talent residing in the marketing dept of the US Mint.
