Ok folks, Daniel Carr has posted these on his website for those who do not like, or can't afford, the gold idea of the U.S. Mint on the Centennial Commemoratives.
The Satin version can be purchased individually; dime, quarter or half dollar. The Antiqued versions appear to be a set of three (at the moment).

Dan is a true artist!
(think I checked yesterday)
I believe D Carr had replied to a post a few days ago, that he was in the process of hardening the dies, then ready to begin minting them.
Of course, the cut-down piece could be sliced in half like a bagel and trimmed to the correct thickness and reassembled in the right die alignment, but I am sure that that will never happen.
He can get the necessary information here, off of the Internet of the future. Tell us, oh time traveler, do the Cubbies ever win a World Series?

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......
Thanks for the link! I just bought the SLQ in Satin. I've never owned a D. Carr product before but have long admired his skill.
You will be hooked. Enjoy

Wonder why Antiqued versions more than double Satin? Hard to made?
I spoke with him about this when he did our Glendale medals, and the cost is really due to the time. He does the antiquing by hand and tries to make sure he doesn't get any hairlines etc. The ones he did for us in both copper and silver antique look awesome in hand.

Just for the record, what is the thickness of one of these, just in case some future collector gets offered the legal tender coin design portion of one of these cut out and reeded? Are the obverse and reverse designs in coin alignment or medal alignment?

Thank you for not calling them coins, which of course, they're not.
I'm wishing I had bought one of the buffalo nickels when they were available... that would be an awesome 4-coin set.
This new set will probably drive up the prices on the Buffalo nickel variety as most collectors will want a set of four and not just three.
Logic would have it now is the best time to purchase on the secondary market rather than later.

Is there a mintage limit??

Wonder if Dan will mint more?
I plan to have these available for a couple months and I will mint enough to fill the orders placed during that window. The similar 2013 Indian Head nickel centennial piece had a final mintage of about 2,000.
So far, I've only made a limited test run. I've got a bunch of silver blanks on order for more.
PS:
The antique finish takes a fair amount of work by hand, one at a time. I priced them such that I won't end up making a lot of them. But I do like the look of the antiqued medals better than the brilliant satin.

They have coin-flip orientation.
They are first struck in a collar, then broad-struck after that. The thickness of the central part can vary from one run to the next.
If someone were to somehow cut out the center, the thickness would most likely be fairly far off. It would also be 999 fine instead of 900.
If someone is really determined to pass off an altered item for fraudulent purposes, they will find some coin to do it with. To cut out one of my medals, sandwich it to get the proper thickness, and put reeding on the exposed edge, would require a lot more work than just altering existing genuine coins.

Thank you.
The dime and half dollar images are probably safe, but that 1916 quarter image is going to be very tempting to certain people.
Dan are you going to make a fantasy over strike for these coins ?
Yes.
Working on that now.
Wish list. A toned set

Once I get into the bulk of the production, I might try that.
Ok, I'm in for all 6. Now, how does a rookie get these slabbed? Thanks for any advice..
ANACS will certify/slab these and all Daniel Carr items, and there are no membership fees with ANACS. I have a couple items there now (Indian Nickel Centennials and Silver 1.5 Ounce Owl).

Yes, ANACS! http://www.moonlightmint.com/anacs.htm
I plan to slab one set of my Centennials. But first, I'll call ANACS and confirm there's no problem with the Centennials size. Really helpful folks. (Definitely call 'em if you have any difficulty with their website.)

I plan to attend the Baltimore coin convention and have ANACS slab most of my Daniel Carr coins. I mainly want to get them into something more secure.

I picked up a set of each. Now, can we send in some of the buffalo coins to have them antiqued?!

Not a bad idea as many of Dan's creations are now being counterfeited'

Since it seems all about the money, if you offer him enough, he would probably do it.
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
Well, just Love coins, period.

If it was all about money (greed) he'd run another batch of the 1964 Peace dollars as they'd once again likely sell out.
