China likes Dan's work so well it has some shiney new imitations
on Ebay. Hope a newbie doesn't get fooled when they show up for sale as originals. One even has DC mint mark.
That's not right, got a link?
The listings ended but I'm sure they will be back. The seller is Numicom.pl. there are a lot of listings on the site.
@Bullsitter , I was able to order one of the labeled 1 of 2 but the 1 of 4 was gone. Shipping from Poland, notified today. Now seeing how long it will take. And how it will compare to an authentic one bought from Dan.
I also got 4 Polish Bi-Metalic. I'm a lover of Bi-Metalic coins. Really wish the US would make some as replacement of paper dollars.
I had an idea for a new product. Make one of the peace dollars, but have a 2020 date, and add a mask to Lady Liberty. I would buy a few of those. Can it be done?

Technically, yes.
But I did the one Covid-19 token and I'm not sure I want to do another.

Would it be pure coincidence if Dan stopped the mintage now since it is at 666?
I noticed that mintage too.
I'm guessing someone bought all the remaining tokens as a lot this week. Or maybe Dan is toning 'em. Or both.
Actually, I ran out of silver to make more them. I'll need to order some more silver grain. I'm not planning any other surface variations. So if I make some more, they will be the same as the rest.
Got me some DC Gold, and Gold ounces are up, up, up, yet I don't wanna sell a bit of my yellow fever DC cache...
Anyone else here floating in my boat ???
I see Gold spot ounces now and this spot hammer just won't make me cash out of any of my DC Gold Art Coin Treasures.
Crap,
My 18k-22k-24k DC gold will not and really cannot be sold !
Silly Me !!!
I should'a hedged differently & instead bought me some boring laser cut & fine detail-free die struck USA mega minted swill so I could of have then eagerly cashed out of.

Usually they are pretty lenient with what qualifies for the special. I've sent Carr items together with other US coins before.

Interesting concept.
I could take it a little further and have Trump or Biden throwing darts and the dart board would have the calamities listed. But I generally prefer to stay away from political themes and personalities, focusing on the financial aspects instead.
I hope there won't be a need to start producing "Civil War" tokens. "Hard Times" are bad enough.
I've thought about a "National Debt" token where the actual number is blank on the die, but has a space where I could, from time to time, counter-stamp the current number onto the tokens.
@dcarr said:

Great thought on private coinage. I imagine now would be a good time for private coinage except for the Coinage Act of 1864. There were locally minted coins which I don't recall getting into trouble, e.g. the Aspen Dollars, etc.
I've thought about a "National Debt" token where the actual number is blank on the die, but has a space where I could, from time to time, counter-stamp the current number onto the tokens.
Have you thought about making a modular die like they had in the past for the Columbian Expo award and some Merriam good for tokens? That way one area could be swapped out for different figures.

That would be technically possible.
But I haven't felt the need to do anything like that since my die making process is pretty efficient and I can just engrave another one-piece die as required.

I'd call them and ask. I've been told yes and no.
Thx. I did after I inquired here. I got a reply today saying that I'm "more than welcome". In my email I added, "although DC's coins are not technically US Mint coins, they are minted on a US Denver Mint surplus coin press". ;-)
I can't see why not. I submitted a few of D.Carr pieces at the battlefield show last year during one of their specials with no problems but they have a size limitation on items they'll slab.
More Covid's popped up available but price increase too to $50 . Not many left -- get em while you can!

You can see the host coin on both sides, Stars on the Obverse and Wreath on Reverse.
Very unique piece, first one I've ever seen like it.
That's a crazy cool piece Chief. Do you suppose the cracking was due to the die being slightly smaller in diameter than the host coin?

Cracking like that is usually the result of planchet (or host coin) metal that was not heated to a sufficiently-high temperature when it was originally poured as an ingot (prior to rolling the strip) and/or not sufficiently annealed.

Dan's 1964-D Morgan has a total mintage of about 1,700. http://www.moonlightmint.com/blog_18.htm
But that total is spread over two die pairs and several different finishes (e.g., the high-grade die pair 1 has a mintage of 786).
