I work for the USPS. I've never seen it this bad. We are doing okay in regards to small packages but large packages could take many weeks before we can get to all of them. We simply don't have the people to work them fast enough. Almost everyday another employee or two is out with Covid. Contact tracing forces other people to go home for 2 week quarantines. Many days more mail is coming in then is going out so we run out of floor space. There are trucks waiting in line for many hours. We are trying our best but it is an almost impossible task.

I wanted to take a quick second to get a couple photos taken and uploaded. Not my usual setup, that will need to wait until early next week.
I just wanted to note, both of these feel really substantial in the hand. At 1.5 ounces, their heft is that of coins twice their diameter. The relief and finish of these pieces give a lot of visual depth to Escher's staircase. The square planchet compliments the die engraving well.

Anyone else getting a Peace broken sword?
I have to! I asked (begged!) Dan to make one years ago when the photos with the Roman Numeral date were first posted here! It's great to see this come to fruition, like with the Winged Liberty Double Eagle.
I also love the bolt thrower. I hope Dan makes a gold one this year as it's one of my favorite designs.
I also love this one. This one is neat because it says "Last Morgan Dollar" and we don't know what the US Mint one will look like yet, which makes it cool!
I shouldn't have but I bit. Agreed, a bit expensive but very pretty.
I didn't notice that the Roman Numeral Peace dollars were overstruck on 1921 High Relief dollars.
Now I appreciate the pricing and I can hardly wait for mine to arrive.

I'm still debating it, but at $360 it seems too pricey and I could easily see these selling for less on eBay in the future. And nothing against Carr-he sees the aftermarket prices and why leave the profit for the resellers.

Quite a few coins are almost never, or never, available on eBay, like the 1805 Dollar and MCMVI (1906) Winged Liberty St. Gaudens. I haven't seen either of these resold ever. Others were offered before but come up rarely now like the 1816 CBH. I can see this being one of them if there are no more die pairs.
And nothing against Carr-he sees the aftermarket prices and why leave the profit for the resellers.
What I find interesting is that sometimes Dan's pieces are being resold on eBay for more while the mintage is still open and being offered by Dan directly. I can understand selling them for more after the mintage closes, but in this situation, it seems Dan's own prices may be too low. Part of the increase in prices may be to adjust to these early resales.
While we are debating the subject:
Why do they have to be 1921 host coins?
Couldn't he have used common dates with the same effect? Unless of course you can see the 1921 date of the host coin. I guess that would be neat.
Still undecided on where I stand regarding overstriking key dates. My inner voice is saying bad idea, but my impulse is to buy one anyway.

As for numbers, there seem to be quite a few 1921s available and the prices aren't overly high for the low grade ones. And it's just a maximum of 100 overstrikes out of an original mintage of over 1 million, so approximately 0.01% of the mintage.

That's great service from USPS. Not typical in reverse mailed into Kihei. Off Holiday rush it's not too bad but right now add up to a week extra.
I would rather wait a little more and hopefully the package will arrive in one piece and not mangled like another members Top Pop coin did recently.
