Suggestion for Dan Carr...

You should assign "numbers" to all the pieces you have created. It will prove much easier for collectors now and in the future . Also, you should go over your extensive records and update all final mintages. I had searched for that figure for the 2008 gold 1/10 oz Indian head/eagle.

"People's Exhibit A"
"People's Exhibit B......."
But I have kept (and published) very accurate and comprehensive records in the catalog pages:
Printable Catalog with Mintage Statistics for Items Designed and Minted by Daniel Carr / Moonlight Mint.
I do have unique "catalog" numbers assigned to every issue (including most varieties). These are shown in the catalog.
I do not issue a printed catalog because I update the pages frequently, and so a printed version would be out of date within a few days, usually.
In fact, I just updated the 2012 Trade Dollars ("Alternate Currencies") and 2012 Stonehenge Britannia tokens ("World Trade Coins") last night.
But anyone is welcome to print out any and all web pages at the link above.
Also, I think a wiki for Unrecognized States/Fantasy Nations/&c. "coins" would be a valuable tool for eclectic numismatists.

Congratulations!
Collectors simply can't get enough.

The quantities produced are fairly small, so they are gone fairly quickly.
I haven't made any fantasy-date over-strikes for a couple months now.
But I'll soon start on a "1963" over-strike Kennedy Half Dollar for the 50th anniversary.

Does the USNS still have a web page ?
PS:
I just did a few test stikes yesterday of the 2013 OHNS token.

Please give us plenty of advance notice. This is one I'd like to own.

The USNS page is still up, and there are other worthy resources like Erik McCrae's huge list of Unrecognised States and related issues and some other scattered useful sites made by producers and collectors, but they are essentially lists. I'd like to see a true wiki for such things. Wikipedia covers too broad an area in numismatics/exonumia to be of any appreciable use for research and interest. Such a wiki could be edited by the folks in that area of interest. And there might be some fun trolling by CaptHenway wannabes.
I saw the bogus coin scans for the planned OHNS 2013 tokens in the current issue of BoTales. Two heads! That's great, you get to copy the 1913 Buffalo obverse for the centennial and add a hobo to the other side. Nice that these are overstruck on previously issues OHNS tokens. I've got quite a collection of those going back to the founding issues.

If you'd like to see something like this, set up a wiki on Wikispaces, define a format you'd like to use, populate it with samples, and start inviting people to add information. You can even have a message board attached to it. This is what we have with VAMWorld.

There is also the Krause "Unusual World Coins" catalog, which lists some Unrecognized States material. But overall, I'm not sure the format of that catalog is compact enough and detailed enough to do the subject justice. And then there is the problem of finding someone willing to do the job of editing it all. A web site or "wiki" is probably the way to go. For me, it is a lot easier to maintain a website than a printed catalog.
The OHNS has a number of left-over low-relief tokens from prior years. I may over-strike most of those. I will also use some left-over blanks they still have. I did some test strikes yesterday, over-striking past OHNS tokens. They same out fairly well. Virgin blanks will work better, but the over-strikes are interesting.
