I decided at the beginning of the year that I wanted all 100 of the announced mintage of the "MCMXXI" over-strikes (the ones over-struck on 1921 Peace Dollars) to be pristine high grade. It is inevitable that some do not turn out perfect or "high grade". So rather than splitting the mintage of 100 into high-grade and lesser-grade (or antiqued/circulated/bulk-handled) categories, all 100 issued were high-grade. But what to do with the excess that was not high-grade ? I decided to make a circulated version which would not be part of the 100, would not have a mintage limit, would be cheaper, and could be over-struck on any year Peace Dollar. In addition to the circulated finish, I wanted another way to differentiate these from the limited issue of 100. So that is why I added the "2021" counter-stamp. So most of the antiqued counter-stamped version are over-struck on 1922-1935 Peace Dollars, but a few were over-struck on 1921 Peace Dollars.
@dcarr - Is there any way to identify whether an antiqued / counter-stamped MCMXXI has been over-struck on a 1921 Peace Dollar (since a few of them were), as opposed to a 1922-1935 Peace Dollar?

"There is no way to tell by inspecting them.
And since the antiquing is performed by tumbling the coins a certain way, they get all mixed up. So even if they were segregated from the others, they would end up randomly mingled.
So the short answer is no."
But maybe there's an intriguing long answer? I'm guessing with microscopy you might get lucky and have an example with sufficient ghosting to see the 1921 date.

Since ANACS cannot / will not fit the 1921-2021 Peace Centennial rounds into their holders, I did a DIY slab. Not perfect, but at least I can display it in slabbed form along with my ANACS slabbed MXMXXI high grade and MXMXXI antiqued coins from Daniel.

I used Lighthouse Quickslab. I don't think that they make their inserts with a 50mm diameter opening, so I used their insert with a 30mm opening and used an exacto blade to cut a 50mm diameter opening in the insert.
The label was simply done by creating a text box on Word, printing and cutting.

The mintages pages show final mintages (in most cases). But for most new products, the mintages are listed as "so far" (or not "final") and they will increase as orders come in (up to a limit in some cases).
In other words, some new products are "mint to order". And these new products are limited to either a maximum mintage, or a limited window of time that they will be available (usually 3 to 6 months - some longer, some shorter).

Yes, I had that one last piece in available inventory - you got it.
Can the man get a special holder? "Last strike?"
Well, the last one sold does not usually equate to the last one over-struck (the over-strike sequence gets randomized during inspection, packaging, and shipping). So no special label on that one. But if you see me at a coin show or somewhere I could maybe autograph the label for you.

Yes! I got one and posted in the new purchase thread. I'm getting old LOL I can't remember the details of how I found it on the day I bought it. 2 months ago ! Sheesh. A great one from Dan for sure.
Mintage: 12. Utilizing a 1947 50 Pesos restrike issue as the host (KM-481), this incredibly alluring and wondrous fantasy is the work of Dan Carr's Moonlight Mint and the consultation of Allan Schein--author of Mexican Beauty/Belleza Mexicana - Un Peso Caballito. Just 12 of these EXTREMELY RARE, engaging works of art were produced in December 2019, the dies having been faithfully based upon the original caballito issues with a few modifications in place in order to further enhance it aesthetically. Heating and re-softening the host allowed for the expansion of the planchet from 37mm to 39mm, with each then being struck four times at 400 tons of pressure in order to arrive at this enchanting end result. For the aficionado of the popular caballito series, exotic exonumia, or advanced gold issues, this example undoubtedly is a must and, given the paltry mintage and perfect designation, would not offer many opportunities to equal it.
@Zoins Stumbled into an auction of Greco-roman lots and tucked into the middle were these 2 great D Carr pieces from 2013. I'm thrilled to get them both. Enjoy. Peace Roy
You know, I've been studying a few of the Wilson "Novodels" being sold by Jeff Shevlin. I don't know if anyone else has noticed this or not, but the strikes being sold as "Silver Select Triple Struck Off-Center" really seem to have been struck FOUR times . . . .
There appears to be a "base strike" creating a "host coin," then there are three more overstrikes, each off center to varying degrees.
See my screen grabs below for a few examples from different photos of these that I have run across. I have circled the position of the word THE in the legend of each strike to illustrate.
My OCD just made me post this clarification. The "Triple Struck Off-Centers" are really all "Quad Struck, Triple Off-Centers" . . . .
Good eye Z. Some of these multi-strikes are train wrecks and hard to untangle, especially the tripled/flip overs.
Here's something different -- Wilson on copper oversized planchet, broadstruck (out of collar). So many sharp angles made photo'ing challenging.
The piece has very high rims as the metal was squeezed outward beyond the dies.
