My only objection to this auction is calling an ASE a coin. A coin it never was nor ever can be,overstamp notwithstanding.

A genuine certified counterfeit,"
Edit: (Quite a run-on sentence
<< <i>Is the packaging authentic? >>
Appears to be, though the inscription on the box "PROOF COIN" is certainly deceptive.
<< <i>My only objection to this auction is calling an ASE a coin. >>
...Real ASE's are legal tender. If not a coin, what are they?
<< <i>My only objection to this auction is calling an ASE a coin. A coin it never was nor ever can be,overstamp notwithstanding. >>
An ASE is legal tender, is issued by a government and has a face value stamped on it. It is primarily used as a store of value rather than a medium of exchange, although under certain circumstances (such as hyperinflation) it could be employed for that purpose also.
That's a coin in my book.
<< <i>you recall how I was hung out to dry by several members last week for complaining about the packaging, right?? it will be interesting to see how those same members respond to you. >>
The "packaging" adds a certain level of deception in conjunction with the self made certificate of authenticity.
I could imagine someone new to DCARR Coins could possibly believe that they are buying an authentic US Mint Product which was never issued.
I would prefer that the listing be "without" US Mint packaging.
Additionally, to the inexperienced individual, the following statement is definitately deceiving:
"THE ONLY ONE LIKE IT WITH COA & COIN WORLD EXCERPT"
I could make one up right this moment if I really wanted to pull one over on folks.
On the plus side, the BIN Price is about right IMO.

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

Comments like this illustrate the method certain politicians use to stifle comments, with which they do not agree, on controversial issues. I find this practice disgusting and disturbing. It's called "political correctness."
Let's look at this way. Say you would like to have a 1921-D Buffalo nickel to go with your 1921-D Mercury dime, but there is a small problem. The U.S. mint system did not mint any nickels at the Denver mint in 1921. No problem. A fellow makes up a set of dies with the 1921-D combination and uses them to over strike a genuine 1921-P nickel. Or if that seems like too much trouble, he drills a small hole on the side of a 1921-P nickel and embosses a "D" under the words, "FIVE CENTS." Then another fellow comes along and issues an official looking "Certificate of Authenticity" that says that this piece is a "genuine facsimile" that was made by the fellow who manufactured this fantasy coin and puts it in a nice looking holder. Perhaps the Chinese should get in on this with their 1888-CC Morgan dollars and other fantasy coins.
Do you fellows still think that's cool? I don't. But then I'm old fashioned. I have this thing against counterfeits. Using the excuse that since a certain coin never existed, it's okay to manufacture one that looks like an original government issue doesn't work for me. The excuse that it's not a "counterfeit" because it's a fantasy is false logic. The trouble is if you keep making more of these things, you are going to need to have an encyclopedic memory about which coins were struck where to keep up with them.

Bill, Name 1 example where ONLY a mint mark was either added or modified by Dan Carr?
To the best of my knowledge he has ONLY addressed the "Year" of a coin or a "Specific" Year/MM combination like the 1910-D Indian Head Cent Overstrike or the 1909-o Morgan Dollar Overstrike.

I don't care for his products which do not have the word "COPY" on them. I don't think that they conform to the Hobby Protection Act which I strongly support.
You like his stuff, so go buy it. You are not going to change my attitude toward Carr products. I am for consumer protection, and I don't care for copies and reproductions. As a young collector I remember how badly I felt when got stuck with a few counterfeits and copies, and I don't want anyone else to go though that. Losing money from misrepresented copies and feeling bad about being cheated do not enhance one's enjoyment for this wonderful hobby. As long as Carr is allowed to market his stuff, the possibility is out there for it to be misused by a shyster.
I tried a couple Gallery Mint products which conformed to law and got no satisfaction from owning them. It would not have made a difference if the Gallery Mint pieces had not had "COPY" on them. From a historical perspective they did nothing for me.

Weren't Gallery Mint coins copies of actual coins?

Well, I guess the potential for abuse is there later down the road, but there are disclosures in the auction.
I find it odd that the listing contains the disclaimer:
Disclaimer: This Coin Is Not An Official Mint Product And Is Not Authorized As Legal Tender By The US Mint, Department Of Treasury Or The US Government
but he thinks the official Mint box with the word "Proof" on it is a good idea.
As it is, I guess it is not really reportable, but it'd be great if that box were not offered with it. (PS: this seller has sold others just like this in the past)
If someone is bilked into buying one of DC coins thinking it is real govt issue date/mm/proof etc, without doing any research, they deserve what they get.
These are still 2009 Silver Eagles, and just as valid as any other 2009 silver eagle. (what ever that means, as they have a 1 dollar denomination, but no one would try to spend one as a dollar)
Why would you put copy on something that is not a copy of anything?

You are absolutely correct and have made your point very well.
I do understand why some object to these. There is a possibility that a naive buyer could be fooled.
Amusingly (or not, depending on your view ), some DC issues have been counterfeited - if that's the right word to use here. Would a copy struck on another legal planchet be a counterfeit? Copies of his other designs would be copyright violations,of course.
I like Daniel's fantasy coins. I only have four, one of which is the 65 Peace I ordered a few minutes ago.

The "Red Book" will help with that.
I also do no condone their spelling of my name
Note that these over-strikes have a large prominent "DC" mint mark on the reverse.
