While looking up the D. Carr info in another thread, it got me to thinking about completing the 4 medal series for the Denver Mint centennial. The U.S. Mint didn't even mark the anniversary (the S.F. Mint was, but not the Denver mint). I picked up one each of the 1 oz silver versions (must have gotten in on the first day, as the 'Satin' version only had 50 total minted), and they went off to ANACS for grading, with their specially designed 'Midnight Mint' certs, signed by Mr. Carr on the reverse. Result, one MS69, one Proof 69.
I neglected to pick up the brass medals, dope that I am.
SO, if ANYONE has the brass versions of the Denver Centennial medals (I need one of each version...1 'Satin' finish, 1 Proof finish) ....please PM me. I think the 4 'coin' set will be a reallt nice set to have, all 'fancied' up in their specially designed, autographed ANACS certs. I'm not looking for these 'casually'...I'd really like to find them, so if you know of any, or have any, PLEASE PM me. Thanks!!
edited to add....I neglected to add that Mr. Carr went through he** and back to get the photos to make the dies, something about security breach, suspicious character....he worked hard to get the images to make these medals look like the DENVER Mint...not just an obverse die made from a 'mental image', or taken from pictures out of books/magazines....he basically became a pseudo-security risk, so he deserves to have these Denver Mint centennial medals appreciated.
edited to add...thanks to a forum member, I was able to find a prooflike version, so I need to find the satin finish version. If you have a set, and don't wish to break it up, I'd still take the set. Thanks!

I bought the brass proof and satin ones but not the silver ones.
