I've had this coin for well over a decade and have posted it on 'Dan Carr' threads a few times. I've enjoyed owning it, and I enjoyed the process in obtaining it (I met Mr. Carr at a Baltimore show and he initially wasn't selling it as it was a new surface process he was demonstrating IIRC, but I REALLY wanted it).
Eventually I sent it to ANACS for the autographed slab--I'm not sure what I've done with the original flip, I couldn't find it when I sent it to Great Collections.
In any case, I'm trying to go deeper into some of the more esoteric Japanese pieces and it was time to liquidate a few things. (The other stuff is non-US so won't get posted here), so that means finally selling stuff I've never followed more seriously.
One of my favorite bits about this is the mintage--total mintage 21 and "a fairly small number" given the matte finish.
My two postings of it on CT and here.
Here--partway down the page.

CT--if I'm doing this right this will be a direct link to my post. A few posts below is Mr. Carr's reply regarding the mintage and finish. Someone above me in that post had commented on valuations and at the time (as I still am) I was clueless how to set value, so off to GC it went. Back in 2017 I was still planning on keeping it.
And from the Moonlight Mint population reports. Total mintage in satin 21, and 'some were given a post strike bead blasted & burnished matte finish', which Mr. Carr called "a fairly small number" in this finish in his own post a few below mine on that thread.

So, hopefully someone will like this as much as me, and it can find a home with a dedicated Dan Carr collector!
