Popular Post hkfears Posted October 25, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 25, 2023 In 2021 the Madison County Coin Club had Daniel Carr produce a club medal. The silver medal only had 27 minted. The club is going to have a 2024 medal also minted by Daniel Carr.

Popular Post RWB Posted October 25, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 25, 2023 (edited) Well, those are about as original as the perpetrator gets: trite, ugly and utterly meaningless. One might expect a bit more creative talent around Huntsville.

Mike Meenderink Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 These things are worth no more than the metal value. Why people think private minted tokens are anything but silly kitchy keepsakes is beyond me. D.Carr does not impress. Sorry USAuPzlBxBob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorganMan Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 (edited) Dcarr has made some very nice coins. This one I really like. Here are two more I own. They are ok, but not as nice as the Denver one. Edited October 26, 2023 by MorganMan Bluie and Hoghead515 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoldFinger1969 Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 (edited) He may know tokens, but he knows nothing about monetary policy, the Fed, or central banking.

Mike Meenderink Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 I find authentic trade tokens from the 1800s more interesting purely based upon the fact that they were used as actual exchange coinage. These just don't have any history except for bad juju. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWB Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 (edited) Mr. Carr has sold some pleasant 5th-grade-art cartoon medals. (See the two medals MorganMan posted that include human figures. The Denver Mint portal is a pleasant copy -- as usual nothing original, and even here the Liberty head is misshapen.) There are people who like this kind of stuff so that's up to them. He has no authority to manufacture a coin, or anything that resembles a coin -- neither does anyone else. The club medals are particularly egregious: bad copies of the creative work of others, totally lacking in even a mediocre 5th grader's originality. One can hope the club did not pay for these designs. Edited October 26, 2023 by RWB EagleRJO, Mike Meenderink and zadok 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tokens are used like money for goods and services, while medals are designed to commemorate a person, place, or event. So, yes, our medals are “keepsakes.” Also, when the club talked to Mr. Carr about producing this medal, we wanted the St. Gaudens $20 as the theme. Our members are happy with this design.

I would never own ANYTHING like this. In fact every single copy or counterfeit coin I have ever came into possession of either free or reasonably priced including restrikes IF silver has been melted and turned into bullion bars. Just to destroy them. Any non silver counterfeits or unmarked non silver fantasy coins I get I destroy. If I got a hold (which would have to be free) of any of D.Carr medals or especially restrikes in silver they would be melted into bullion. The coins have no value to me. In fact I don't want them out there. I don't agree with what Mr Carr does. He jumps the shark when copying fine art designs from classic artists to enrich himself.

Bad JUju It is not up to you to decide for other people what they should want to collect. Everybody decides that for themselves. If you don't like it, then don't collect it. If you happen to own one, it is your property so you can do whatever you want with it (including melting it). But telling other people that they can't collect it, even if they can and want to, is "Bad Juju".

There is an interesting discussion that I commented on about "improper annealing" vs "sintered plating" that is currently going over in the "Newbie Coin Collecting Questions" forum. It has nothing to do with any of my products. Edited October 31, 2023 by dcarr zadok 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorganMan Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 I have to agree with DCarr: "It is not up to you to decide for other people what they should want to collect." I will also point out that Mr. Carr did NOT start this little person_without_enough_empathyfest. Sometimes, it is just best to keep your mouth shut.
