Do you have a Red Book?

For the most part, the guys ATS are logical, reasonable, know how to intelligently debate, have a sense of self awareness and don't take themselves to seriously.  Not as many Tin foil hats over there. That is if you haven't already been put on a permanent vacation!

Larry has built up a lot of credibility on this site as well as others over the years.  His answers are accurate, he helps answer questions from new collectors, and has demonstrated his numismatic knowledge over and over again.  @tj96, I'm not so sure.  Its a darn shame that someone is chasing away @ldhair 

If it wasn't for the research posts by rwb, I doubt I would be here much either.  Maybe its also time to bail on this site.  I'm sure QA and TJ96 can pick up on providing new collectors with accurate information.  

 

So now we can all feel sorry for Larry because I hurt his feelings and he can't defend HIMSELF?  That's pathetic and gutless.  Thanks for coming to his rescue @Oldhoopster great job!

This site was founded on members being able to give honest opinions.

It's not about starting fights to beat the heck out of someone you don't agree with.  

And that's what I'm doing.  Giving you my honest opinion.  I'm not fighting with you or beating the heck out of you. You're just upset because you can't articulately defend your position.  I'm just curious to know how or why you think the way you do?

And you insult me again. It's people like you that drive folks away from this site. 

Lighten up!  I know you're emotional, don't be so sensitive!  

I don't have to know what you do.  But you don't know what I do for the gov't either.  If you have been dealing with China the past 40 years, like I said; you're a part of the problem not the solution.

Whatever you're doing to stop counterfeit products from coming into the US isn't working. Tell your boss that!   Stop dealing with China......PERIOD!!

Carr gave China an open path to bring even more counterfeit product into the US coin market.

You're kidding me, right??   This entire country has given China an OPEN PATH!!  You're living in a dream world my friend!

Years ago, I was posting that Carr was now a target for china products. Many called me crazy but look at it now. 

Carr gave China an open path to bring even more counterfeit product into the US coin market. 

I deal with China everyday and have for the past 40 years. They can not be stopped at this point. They have the skills to destroy the market for all Carr products and they will. It's coming. 

They can be stopped and they will be stopped. It starts with you, not dealing with them.  But I guess it's about your bottom-line isn't it?  If you're not a part of the solution, YOU'RE a part of the problem. China and Dan Carr products is the least of our problems.  EVERY produce here is a target of China!!

    Whether or not these items should be classified as counterfeits, they are not "coins", a Webster's dictionary definition of "coin" being "[a] piece of metal marked and issued by governmental authority to be used as money". (The overstriking of actual coins with different dates or design elements presumably destroys their legal status as coins.) While there is no problem with knowledgeable people collecting them, it's a very real problem that they closely resemble actual coin designs and may be used as a means to deceive and defraud those who are not numismatically knowledgeable--the vast majority of the population!  "Copy" stamps have been obliterated and may not be noticed or understood.  In my opinion our hobby would be better off without the creation and distribution of such items, although my libertarian leanings make me reluctant to recommend any legal prohibitions.

So you're a person that advocates civil liberty?..  That's a good thing.

My conservative leaning say the Secret Service will have to get past my CZ, before they take my Dan Carr's!

Thanks!

I didn't know ICG slabbed DC's.

I think it's time for another example!

Roger is wrong and he always has been on this subject. Larry too. Both write toward what they WISH WERE TRUE. They’re allowed to wish all they like. But they’re wrong. 
 

The ANA has spoken. 
The Bureau of the Mint of the U.S. Treasury has spoken.

Even the U.S. Attorney’s office has spoken. None agree with Roger or Larry. 

SLAM....., DUNK!!!!!  Nuff said!

The items in question are counterfeit coins according to US law. Look it up.

Not as far as the Secret Service is concerned.  Look it up.

One interesting fact about Dan Carr is that, whether you call his coins reproductions or counterfeits, is that he is allowed to sell them on eBay. Anyone else would have the listings removed as it is against eBay policy to sell counterfeits or reproductions.

His coins are not reproductions or counterfeits they are over-strikes on genuine US coins.

.....and what's the maturity of those I bonds?  Most of us will not live that long!...    but might be great for the younger generation.

So you're an educated insufficiently thoughtful person?

In NYPD jargon, this is known as a "through-and-through"... a crack to die for.      

What do you know about NYPD jargon??

I know nothing about VAM's.  Many on this forum know about them and will help you.

Here's another good resource that can help you.

You guys are right. It's not a mistake and it's not incompetence, it's absolutely intentionally!!

Im not sure. I may one of these days. If I do it will be a while. But I may so it will be preserved better for the kids and grandkids. May help them keep up with it better. But that would be the only reason. Im not planning on selling it or anything so Im in no big hurry for now. 

If you ever do submit it, just remember ICG is the only TPG'er that will slab it.
