Curious how many board members hold dcarr's productions.
Personally, I have 1, the early "Roller" design with the scary-face-in-the-space-mask astronaut.

I love the fact that he keeps the mintage very low and uses real metal and has fantastic designs.

Only if you bought them on eBay.

You did well!!!

He was credited with the concepts for a few and maybe another one directly... I think that's been posted here before. US State Quarters.

In that case, I own some DCARR designed coins.

I like the hard luck tokens

In my opinion, at least $65 to $70, if not more.
The two proof versions of this same issue sold for $69 and $111, respectively on ebay a few days ago.

Thanks,
The 2010 1-oz silver proof-like version of it will be discontinued no later than the end of June.
Restrike some .99999 RCM gold planchets.
You have these 'government rip-off themes'.
Call this one the "pure rip-off" coin.

Do you have a mintage taly so far on that one? Or do you wait to disclose totals until the run is done if it's not pre-set??

I'm confused after the GSAGUY debacle......is this "soft spam"???
<< <i>I'm confused after the GSAGUY debacle......is this "soft spam"??? >>
I don't know. Maybe. I didn't start the thread, though.
People post pictures of coins they own all the time. I did the same
(I own the coins shown). Hard to tell where to draw the line.
I've spent my 9-5 for the past 2.5 years making sure corporate Coca-Cola's intranet is in order on the info-acrchitect tip to solve for things like this, and the past 16 years doing the same flavor for some fairly big other folks. The fixes are easy, who do you have putting all those together for you??
<< <i>Alright Daniel, I have to hit it: the web presence is frustrating with all your sites. Feels like I have to hit 4 websites, in various stages of completion, to get all your info, with pop-up action being a bit much.

Sorry about that. I put them together myself. Actually, there are three main sites, not four. Still that it two too many, I suppose. I've been evolving away from the first (oldest) one that has the sculpting software on it. I may move a couple things from it and then abandon it in place. The other two I plan to keep as-is, but add more content along the way.

I think I was the first to point out the comparison:
the new hot springs quarter is out
Great job, Daniel!
would that be spam ?

I obviously didn't see the thread, so, I give ya the credit for making the call first!
But, it really does resemble that Hot Springs qtr, doesn't it?

Hmmm... I never noticed that before. Maybe I should turn my coin press into a hot spa and move it to [Eureka Springs] Arkansas
Here is another one - a 2004 Puerto Rico fantasy quarter I designed in 2004 for a coin marketing company:
US Mint version, 4 years later:
And one more - my Maine state quarter, designed in 2001:
US Mint version (same lighthouse, same ship):
I guess the only consolation on the similarities is that the two themes are the first things you think about with Maine and PR respectively (El Moro, is it?). I like your designs a lot better and am glad you put the coqui frog on it. Those things are deafening!
Keep up the great work!
What's the involvement in creating your dies? And what are your requirements for some commission strikes?
Reason I ask is I could be interested in having some token runs made from some of my bird paintings. Is that something you could or would do??

I've done quite a few commission minting jobs like this.
A finished die can cost anywhere from $300 to $3,000. Most are around $1,000 each. Simple text-only dies are closer to $300. It all depends on the size, and most importantly, the level of difficulty in the design and sculpting. Once dies are done, pieces can be struck for about $2-$4 (plus metal blank cost), depending upon size, material, and surface finish. There is no minimum quantity. Edge lettering and other post-strike operations are extra.
Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

Interesting to know, and food for thought for a possible project this year or early next year....thanks for the info Daniel
Got my order of 3 in the mail last night. Very nice work. Picked up the Uncle Scam, a Wirtland, and the Liberty 2010 Amero. The Amero is my favorite of the 3 as the liberty head is fantastic. Think I might pocket piece the Uncle Scam and see how the copper does.
i don't know if all of the following qualify...and I DO own two of the signed State quarters.
2007 Copper Amero Proof (full-set) a 20 Amero closed yesterday on eBay for over $300??????????????????????
Pocahontas proof silver (it's toning in the plastic, now)
Concept bi-metal proof Apollo XI (ICG)
and one of the 2008 silver proof $5 Winged Liberty Ameros.
would ICG slab any of the Ameros?
