Nothing Carr has done is illegal...and he is a bit more than just a "member here"
Daniel Carr received a B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Colorado in 1982. He also studied computer graphics and art extensively. He wrote his own digital sculpting computer software which he uses in an innovative process to create coins, medals, and tokens.
He submitted six designs in a national open design competition for the US Mint's 1993 WWII commemorative coins.
He proposed Apollo Astronaut designs for the new small-size "golden" dollar coin. The designs were featured on the front page of Coin World on two separate occasions (March 30, 1998 and April 13, 1998 issues).
He applied for, and was granted, the opportunity to make a presentation at the Dollar Coin Advisory Committee meeting in Philadelphia in 1999. The purpose of the meeting was to decide what woman to portray on the new small-size "golden" dollar. His designs and proposal for Bessie Coleman was tied for second place in the committee's voting behind Sacagawea.
He created the only unsolicited works to be accepted in the limited invitational design competition for the Sacagawea dollar.
Daniel Carr's Eagle design was one of seven official US Mint finalists for the Sacagawea dollar reverse.
He submitted six designs for the Capitol Visitor's Center commemorative coins in the US Mint's limited invitational design competition.
He was invited by the US Mint to submit designs for all five of the 2001 state quarters. His New York and Rhode Island designs won the competition, and they were used on the actual coins.
His Rhode Island quarter design was named as the best "trade" (circulating) coin in the world by an international panel of judges for World Coin News' 2001 COTY (Coin Of The Year) awards. This was the first state quarter to receive such an award.
The state of Maine chose Daniel Carr's design for their quarter in a design contest attracting about 200 entries. The US Mint's final Maine quarter design was based upon this concept.
An entry by Daniel Carr was, at one point, one of 13 finalists for the Wisconsin state quarter design, out of 5700 entrants.
An entry by Daniel Carr was one of 10 finalists for the Florida state quarter out of 5000 submissions.
An entry by Daniel Carr in the official California state quarter design contest was one of 20 finalists, out of over 8000 entries.
A design by Daniel Carr honoring the 10th Mountain Division was submitted to Colorado and was the basis for one of the five finalists for the Colorado state quarter.
He has also submitted state quarter designs directly to the following states: Michigan, Texas, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Oregon, and Nevada.
Daniel Carr was commissioned to design the artwork for fantasy Puerto Rico and Washington DC "state" quarters, along with the controversial "Freedom Tower Silver Dollar" which was marketed by National Collectors Mint (NCM). He does not endorse the Freedom Tower coin.
He designed the 2004, 2005, and 2006 Gold Pass ski medals for Colorado Ski Country USA.
His entry in the contest to design the 2006 annual Token and Medal Society (TAMS) medal was chosen as the winner and was used for the medal.
Daniel Carr's entry in the contest to design the 2006 annual International Society of Silver Art Collectors (IASAC) medal was chosen as the winner.

If one believes that DC is producing his 1964-D Peace product in an illegal manner than all of the above is really no more than BFD.

He has done this all by himself, designed coins for the US mint, Went out and bought his own Denver Mint Press, Designed his own coins, Made the dies and produces fantastic coins.
I run two businesses all by myself and it takes a great deal of hard work, energy, and courage.
I wish Dan all the best.

Would you like to see all persons who purchased the coin punished as well? Didn't they know what they were doing?
Interesting thought to stir the pot of discussion:
Amero Fakes
Some of the coins were outright copies, but some had a reverse that he never produced.
For the coins with a different reverse:
If they were never sold as DCarr's work, then are they not "fantasy coins" with a copyright violation for 1 part of the design?
One had a modified obverse and a different reverse? At what point does it become a "fantasy coin" and not a copyright violation?

Well if possession is a violate of the law then too answer your question, Yes.

I'm sure that Bernard Madoff had an outstanding resume too.

I too agree with your assessment of Daniel. I met him in Baltimore last year and was very impressed with the 'man.'
One note, there is a Mrs. Carr that would have a bit to say about her one man show husband.
Try PMing him and see if he responds.

I knew it would happen.
Uncool.
There are a number of folks that think Carr is in the wrong the way he has been going (making false '09 SAE proofs, doing the '64 Peace dollar).
His previous history doesn't matter at that point (and not all of us think those works were that good either).
Caleb has a right to his opinion and should be able to state it without the dogpile......but it must feel good to dogpile on someone, eh?

Don't you really mean that you hate these coins? Don't you mean you that when you see a thread about Carr you have to open it and comment? I don't think you care about the poster at all. And certainly "everyone" was not "attacking" him/her. For example, I simply asked a follow-up question. Why not criticize members like Ambro51 who add nothing of value to the thread? I guess it's because he supports your position.
It's clear to me that there are some members here who are emotional about this subject on both sides. Let's all recognize this. That means both sides.

I dislike the discs that he has created. I didn't see a thread about carr and "have to" open it. I open most threads and wouldn't have even commented if not for the dogpiling on Caleb. I have no illwill towards the OP nor to Caleb if that is what you are thinking when you say "I don't think you care about the poster at all".
You are right that not "everyone" was attacking him (Tomb wasn't), but there sure were a lot of negative posts, which I took yours as as well. You seem to like putting words/thoughts in for other folks, just as you did in the first sentence directed at me. You are obviously biased in your view. G'day

Maybe he is overwhelmed and taking a break?
Maybe he is on the run! Graebner press in the RV and dimming the lights of every RV park they stop at, it's tough on the run coining your getaway loot $1 at a time.

To be honest, this is exactly why I purchased a die 5 from DC. I assumed it was at least possible that the Secret Service might stop him, thereby stopping
production on his fantasy coin. Less out there, greater the demand. Price goes up. Simple as that. Don't wish any ill will toward DC. I'm sure he has at least
considered this as a possibility? JMHO Shag
I need the DMPL real bad !
I hope all is well with DC. I PM'd him about getting a #6 because I hesitated initially and when I decided to buy one his site was "under construction." I advised a reverse proof to go with DMPL. I think it would make for a great set. It's all a fantasy ya know.
I have the first two so I guess I'm culpable as.....excuse me there's a knock at the door...
