Has anyone purchased one of these from Daniel Carr? 2010 20 Trade Dollars Silver Satin Indian Chief

coinsarefun

I was speaking to him and the mintage was only 62 pieces.
They look really cool
How many of us here picked one up before they sold out?


You were right Constantine!! I fixed the title
Thanks for the correction

PawPaul

and I can tell you it took quite some time (relatively speaking ) for them all to sell off his website ................

pretty powerful coin.........

I just saw them about a month ago, I wonder why they were for sale so long......it's a great looking coin!I'm glad
I got mine before they sold out

I purchased one too and it was a Trade Dollar like you pictured. But just for clarity, I believe they are not Ameros as you wrote in your title, but Trade Dollars.

Edited to add: I just checked his site and they are not sold out. But yes, only 62 minted and I find the design incredible!

A handsome piece of work!

You are absolutely right, thanks for the correction.
Small mintage for a killer design

I bought one from Jump Street. MJ

What is "Jump Street?"

Yes, I bought a couple and the design is awesome. The obverse is the best I have ever seen.

If one imagines enough one can make that Indian look a little like Brent Favre; especially the mouth.

They still have some, I just bought one 5 minutes ago. I saw this post and really liked the coin and with a mintage of only 62 at some point I would like to think the value would go up. Actually I am still trying to swallow the fact that I just paid $130 shipped for 1 oz of silver.

I don't buy numismatic junky fakes.

I guess everyone has their own thing. this is more art than anything else. So what do you collect? Clad state quarters?

And what's that got to do with this thread? Move on. --jerry

Nor grammar, apparently.........

PawPaul

......seems like most of the sales were to board members here ...........

I'm thinking a whole new demand was created for D.Carr's "coins" by posts here ........

It's perplexing as to why such a majestic coin with a Native American so boldly portrayed would not sell out overnight at 62 minted - but is has been for sale for over a month ..........

I'm gonna go order a second one

PawPaul

....got it !

my second one !!

how can a mintage of 62 on something so desirable last ??

Well as a proud owner of this coin, and one who truly appreciates the beauty in it..........I will be the first to say that $125 + $5 shipping = $130 is a fair chunk of change. So that price nearly wiped out my desire to purchase the coin. But there was something about that headdress encompassing the full obverse of the coin that is incredibly beautiful so I could not resist.

PawPaul

I think I read where he cut short the mintage on the 2010 versions and will begin on making the 2011 " Chiefs"

...the scar across his left eye is what drew me in ..........,

what do you see in the Chiefs eyes ?

ambro51

havent bought one of them yet but still own eight percent of the mintage of these...

Dollar signs , overpriced bullion in my own opinion , i do understand why some might like them though....i guess

PawPaul

.......in this image , his wounded eye stares hauntingly right thru the heart of the viewer ,
while the other eye looks off into the distance , as if saying
" What in God's name happened to my people " ..........

Well since you asked;

I have the complete state quarters from unc. mint sets, along with proofs and silver proofs. Complete Franklin half set, MS65+, with several that were attributed with FBL(Full Bell Lines) and proofs, complete Kennedy halves from 64 to present, both clads, and silver proofs along with examples taken from unc. mint sets, same with Jeffersons(clads only), Lincolns(this should go without saying), and Roosevelts. Complete proof set run from 1950 - present, I also have Peace dollars MS62-MS65, and just recently acquired a small set of Morgans, in PCGS and NGC slabs that are now in 2x2s; plus the proof and unc. Presidential dollars, Sac dollars, Ike dollars, SBA dollars, not to mention 1 proof and 1 unc. ASE from 86 - present with the exception of 2009 when no proof ASEs were produced, would you like me to include the collection I inherited from my grandfather? It's quite extensive.

I was lucky enough to be visiting Dan with two friends when this die pairing was first struck. I thought you might like to see a few pictures.

The dies used to strike these Trade Dollars:

Tremendous photos USAROK, great stuff. The more I see of Dan Carr's coin art the more excited I get about it, it's exquisite.

PawPaul

very cool ! those are the hands of a hard working man .........

those dies are in the rust bucket now - right ?

..if there's any left of the 62 tomorrow , I'm thinking of buying another

Yukoncornelius1

I bought one and it most definately is a piece of art.
