Do you suppose that the "13" Daniel Carr is referring to in his newest medal references the 13th Anniversary of the KOTCT?
Nice pieces Z! Your double-sided gold plated silver is likely very low mintage too. Maybe unique?

And I was extremely fortunate to have been able to pick up this one as well. It is by far my lowest mintage Daniel Carr piece.
At only 14 pieces minted, here is my newest acquisition in antiqued brass.
Daniel Carr has really perfected his Antiqued Brass finish and it really shows in this piece.

Nice piece! Dan did a great job on this! It looks gorgeous. What's on the reverse?

Agreed, amazing piece! I'm guessing it's the So-Called Dollar Club Gathering reverse? But there were 100+ off-strikes/errors and could be anything.

Got the grades back on Dan's recent listings, mostly the circulated pieces.

What a treat over my first cup of coffee. Every piece is amazing. And for all the times I've been on the Moonlight mint site, I finally did the photo self tour of the Grabener press restoration. Dan Carr is thorough and it shows. I've got the covid medal but I'd like more. Peace Roy
Maybe but it says "Out of stock" which means it can come back, like the FEC and Covid rounds.
Temporarily out of stock, but I will likely make some more before the end of the year.
Then next month I will do a "JAN 2021" edge-marked version.
Anything else beyond that is undecided.

Dan, we wouldn't want you to feel like you are under any obligation to strike too many more of these December versions. Why not take the rest of the month off and enjoy the holidays.
How about some eye candy for the holiday? This may be the big kahunas of the 2020 Wilsons (aside from the solid gold) ...

Akbeez, you have put together an impressive set of the Wilson's, well done !!
That Triple-Struck is cool as cool can get.
They’ve been introduced to the wild. This came cross country in like 2-3 days, while a coin from a closer vendor shipped 2 plus weeks ago and is in limbo.
Feels like a nice solid piece of metal. I really want to take it out and examine it and make it into either a pocket piece or an exhibit on my desk that I fidget with during the day or stressful calls. My initial reaction was that it is something to use rather than some of the other pieces that were clearly to look at and appreciate.
After changing tracking numbers and an claimed attempted delivery yesterday that never happened my Dead Man's Treasure medal designed and minted by Dan Carr "exclusively" for CMG Mint was just delivered.

I think it's more of a philosophy: If your only inside-the-box path makes no sense, look outside the box for a new path.
