I don't have an original, but I have a Die Pair 9 overstrike, (Thank you Dan!) or is it one of the originals you found trapped in the bottom of the press you bought?? 😁

I recently made some "Die Pair 8" and "Die Pair 9" fantasy-date over-strikes on Peace Dollars. Both were based on the US Mint photo. A Die Pair 8 example was shown a couple posts ago. That die pair was rejected due to a lack of engraving clarity.
Here is a Die Pair 9:
I see no remnants of an under strike on either piece. Have you perfected a method of completely obliterating the under strike?

Who is the maker of this counterfeit?
That’s your opinion. Some feel differently, based on the language in the U. S. Code.

That is not a very high-resolution image. But some still do show remnants, such as along the front of the neck (when not perfectly aligned). The basic process I use is the same as before, but with a little bit better cleaning.

Its not a counterfeit.
1964D PEACE Bucks were recalled and not issued after striking.
This is a die 9 fantasy made a decade after Carr's earlier 1964 D Peace fantasies were publically made and sold.
For me its an example of coin art that comes with an obligation to inform any future buyer it's a FANTASY.
