Just got my Daniel Carr Astronaut Concept Dollar! Wow!! :)

Hi, Everyone.
I just got my Astronaut Dollar in the mail.
It's a great design. Better than the Sac, IMHO. Here are some pics I took. (Freehand, so sorry if there's any blurriness.)

Pretty nice, if you ask me! Thanks, Mr. Carr!

If you haven't noticed, I'm single and miserable and I've got four albums of bitching about it that I would offer as proof.

Never view my other linked pages. They aren't coin related.
<< <i>"One Roller"?
Actually, I've got a question about that: In the auction's text (IIRC) it said that the text was changed to "One Roller" to comply with legislation. I've seen early pattern coinage (from the 19th century) and it seemed to have the actual denomination (e.g., "One Dollar"). Was the law changed recently, or is the difference the coin's status as a "concept" dollar?

Daniel Carr's pieces were privately minted and therefore he cannot use the term "Dollar". The 19th century pieces you're probably talking about were patterns struck by the US Mint. If you'll look at many of the Hard Times Tokens (circa late 1830's) and Civil War Tokens (1860's), the issuer used as a denomination "NOT ONE CENT", with the word "NOT" very small, to comply with the law.
Here is virtually everything you'd want to know about Mr. Carr's concept pieces.

He didn't. A private mint struck them for him to his specifications.
