Finally made my first coin !

A prototype small "golden" dollar (private pattern). Similar to the 2000 Gallery Mint "One Concept" pieces, but with a different design, of course:
2001 Apollo Astronaut private pattern dollar
Now that I've finally got one out the door, many more designs to come (other dollar patterns, state quarters, etc.) !

Mike Wallace put together a really nice layout covering this subject on his smalldollars.com web site:

That is a very neat piece. My boy would probably like the astronaut.

Nice job

I think that is an under used fun part of the hobby!

Are you putting a limit on production?

1,950 will be minted. Only 50 have been minted so far. The remaining 1,900 will be struck in the next week or two.
No particular reason for the 1,950 number, except to keep it under 2,000.
