AND, his work has been in the Krause Unusual World Coin's catalog for quite a while too. I have the 5th Edition of that book, published in 2007. and both Ron and Dan's work is listed.
The pieces of Dan's that are covered (with photographs in many cases) are:
o Parody Quarters
o Alternate / Prototype Quarters
o Bessie Coleman Prototype Dollars
o Sacagewea Prototype Dollars
o Presidential Dollars (both eagle and SOL reverses)
o The 2009 Astronaut Bimetallic "Two Rollers" Prototype Dollar
o The 2007 Seated Liberty 20 Trade Dollars
Hope that helps.

How did the 1964-D Peace Dollars get slabbed at PCGS (I remember seeing those in Zoins post a while back)? Did they show up in the 6th edition along with others maybe?
The PCGS website for Tokens and Medals says that items listed in the United States section of “Unusual World Coins, 6th Edition” by Krause Publications are eligible for submission. Once I was able to secure a copy, I emailed PCGS to confirm the coins would be accepted. Later, when I submitted my coins, I attached a photocopy from the book, printed email from PCGS, and a cover letter with some additional information.

That would be a good assumption. I only have the 5th Edition and didn't see any of his fantasy date overstrikes listed.
Either that or I need new glasses . . . . .
BTW: There seems to be an overabundance of the NorFed strikes in that book. The editors must have been enamored with that series.
BTW2: Those INA Pattern Dollars that are being sold really cheaply on fleaBay are also all listed.

Regarding communications, Dan has been under the weather with Covid and is resting / recovering now, which is why shipments have started again. I've been in touch with him and only recently discussed posting on the forums. It happened after our visit and I've tested negative. Please be patient and let's all wish Dan good luck for a speedy recovery!
Thanks for that update. He needs to rest and recover. Shipments can wait.
Amazingly, I just received a shipped notice on various canceled die strike items ordered on day one of availability*. Wow! Above and beyond the call, IMO.
*edited to add: also the order that I put in the next day.

PCGS does So-Called Dollars and in addition to the GW and HK listed ones, I see some medals in the pop report from 2020. So there might be a current or future accommodation there. ANACS and ICG both do the Carr stuff. I use ANACS and the market accepts ANACS (and ICG) just fine.
@dcarr try rolling around in some of those piles of silver you have laying around — it’s anti-microbial!! 😉
Get well 👍 (and thanks to you and your helper for rolling out the orders today)

Thanks for the info. The ones I picked up from fellow members were ANACS so I will stay with them.
I do like the Gold Shield PCGS slab but won't get those for one or two coins among many. I like uniformity.

I use ANACs for all my Dan Carr items. The exception has been the 2oz silver items with a diameter of 50mm, which the ANACS folks say is too wide to encapsulate in one of their holders. As you know, I just self-encapsulate these.

I received the email that my Morgan Dollar vintage "X"-cancelled dies restrike, "1884-CC", over-strike on Morgan $ has shipped.
USPS IMFORMED DELIVERY says OUT FOR DELIVERY November 5th
1884cc Two ounce silver goodie & a 84cc overstrike on 1884 host joining the Carr Archive today.
It will be 8 or 9 or 10 hours before I have them in hand
Delivery came. Here is the group of 5 (Brass, Copper, Silver, Morgan, Antiqued) 1884-S canceled die restrikes. AMAZING in hand. Pop numbers on these are crazy low. Sorry, I didn't take them out of the plastic. I will at some point.
Here is the group of 3 (1884-S, 1884-CC and the 1884-S on an uncleaned Morgan). Only got the obverse on these. The reverses are the same as the photo above.
Here is the 1908-O Liberty DE. This thing is AMAZING!!!!! I could not be happier, @dcarr did a fabulous job on this (and I can't wait to see the 1848-CAL). Also received my first Daniel Carr signed insert. Outstanding work here.

Yes, Daniel added the date with his signature. I am so lucky to have this coin. It is my first DC gold. The 1848 CAL will be number 2. I hope to get some of his proof gold at some point (people seem to hoard that).
WOW, pcgscacgold! You were quick on the trigger. I was only able to get the silver among the centennial obv / cancelled S rev ones, and lucky to even grab that one.

Really amazing! Congrats for picking up all these varieties! I really like the way all these came out. They really do look wonderful together. It's not easy using old dies designed for different presses but Dan makes it work. I need to say that Dan really is a huge asset to the collecting community and much thanks to him on these!
The brass one is super rare. My guess is that only 1 was offered for sale. Dan had two and I have two. Dan generally keeps one of each issue so I assume only one has been sold so far.

Thank you for sharing the die and making these possible.
Only 5 of the 1884-S were struck on uncleaned Morgans. Does that mean the same thing as with the Brass centennial piece? Did you keep 2, Dan 1 and maybe only 2 sold of which I have one?

Could be but it's hard to remember now! I need to go look through my pieces to see how they were distributed.
I have a huge fascination with overstriking unclean coins, ever since I picked up the following struck by Dan. The reverse has a really nice mirror finish. Morgan's hair on the Peace Liberty's neck looks nice as well!

That is a great coin. Some day I hope to own one of those with the "Shadow" look on the obverse. I think the two coins overlapped like that is really cool.

Hello everyone. Thanks for the well wishes. I'm finally getting back to normal work on a limited schedule. I've had this nasty Covid-19 thing twice now (February 2020 and Oct-Nov 2021). I guess that is fitting since I made Covid-19 Hard Times tokens dated 2020 and 2021. I seem to catch all the flu viruses (and similar viruses) that go around. Fortunately, I almost never have anything bacterial. I guess my immune system is tweaked for that. I still have some coughing and generally somewhat tired. But I think I'm over it. I am scheduled for a test this Friday and if it is negative I will finally be able to go out in public again.
My day one order arrived today. They are all beautiful. Just incredible.
My favorite, on first glance, is the off-center strike on a 1884 Morgan dollar host, using the vintage cancelled Carson City 'die pair 37' dies.
(with apologies - photos with coin still in the flip, and using an iPhone/stand)

Here is the group of 3 (1884-S, 1884-CC and the 1884-S on an uncleaned Morgan). Only got the obverse on these. The reverses are the same as the photo above.
There was an issue with a few of the over-strikes on "uncleaned" 1884-S coins having the wrong insert.
Yours looks like the correct coin, but from what I can see of the insert under it, it may be the wrong one (I'm not 100% sure, though). If you can post a picture of the entire insert, I will be able to tell if I need to send you the correct one.
My one regret: I missed out (too late) on getting one of the seventeen minted 50mm 2oz-ers with the 1884 CC cancelled dies - the one with the uninscribed perimeter surfaces that are similar in appearance to the Don Schmitz over-strikes. If you have a "spare", PM me please.

Sounds good and no rush. As for my ID, this place converted me (though I really like your gold coinage ).
Caveats:
1) cancelled dies with >100 years of deterioration, so surfaces and devices are very impacted.
2) I am not a Morgan attributor.
However:
The 1884-CC cancelled dies, appearing to be a matched pair, with "37" stamped on the shanks of the dies may allow identification of the 1884-CC VAM.
After looking closely, it may be possible that these could be VAM 10.
Steve Palladino - Ike Group member - DIVa (Designated Ike Varieties) Project co-lead and attributor
One other little factoid on the Carson City cancelled dies:
These Moonlight Mint pieces were made using a matched pair of cancelled Carson City dies, with "37" stamped on the shanks of the dies.
The Don Schmitz cancelled die strikes used a cancelled 1884 Carson City obverse die, identified as die "38".
As Dan mentions in his documentation, the two cancelled die 1884 obverses are clearly different, with the “X” cancellations each in a different location.

Zoins' Zombie Cancel S Mint $ Die is alive & well as it's made some Colorful Carr Art !
Could be but it's hard to remember now! I need to go look through my pieces to see how they were distributed.
I have a huge fascination with overstriking unclean coins, ever since I picked up the following struck by Dan. The reverse has a really nice mirror finish. Morgan's hair on the Peace Liberty's neck looks nice as well!
That is a great coin. Some day I hope to own one of those with the "Shadow" look on the obverse. I think the two coins overlapped like that is really cool.

I hope more people get DC deliveries this week and we get to see the Vintage Die off-center strikes and the one with obverse one date and reverse the other. I did not get any of those.

All your goodies will arrive. They always do.
The only reason I got mine is I live 150 miles south of Daniel. He uses registered mail which is safest & yet slowest mail service.
I too am looking forward to seeing items I should have bought posted by lucky super limited production owners.
Long ago I learned I cannot own everything I desire, so I pick & choose.
Choose wisely Grasshoppers !

Yours turned out really neat. I love the doubling on her face. Mine did not come out that way.

So what is with the X going through it I would figure you would want it without the X?

After completing their die life, US Mint dies were cancelled by punching an X into the die surface. These were made by Dan using vintage canceled dies supplied to him by their esteemed owners,

Hello everyone. Thanks for the well wishes. I'm finally getting back to normal work on a limited schedule. I've had this nasty Covid-19 thing twice now (February 2020 and Oct-Nov 2021). I guess that is fitting since I made Covid-19 Hard Times tokens dated 2020 and 2021. I seem to catch all the flu viruses (and similar viruses) that go around. Fortunately, I almost never have anything bacterial. I guess my immune system is tweaked for that. I still have some coughing and generally somewhat tired. But I think I'm over it. I am scheduled for a test this Friday and if it is negative I will finally be able to go out in public again.
My day one order arrived today. They are all beautiful. Just incredible.
My favorite, on first glance, is the off-center strike on a 1884 Morgan dollar host, using the vintage cancelled Carson City 'die pair 37' dies.

There was an issue with a few of the over-strikes on "uncleaned" 1884-S coins having the wrong insert.
Yours looks like the correct coin, but from what I can see of the insert under it, it may be the wrong one (I'm not 100% sure, though). If you can post a picture of the entire insert, I will be able to tell if I need to send you the correct one.
My one regret: I missed out (too late) on getting one of the seventeen minted 50mm 2oz-ers with the 1884 CC cancelled dies - the one with the uninscribed perimeter surfaces that are similar in appearance to the Don Schmitz over-strikes. If you have a "spare", PM me please.

Hi @dcarr
I think we are all set. I had sent you the email regarding that issue. When the 1848-CAL is ready just throw it in with that.
Thanks.

Right, will do.
PS:
I didn't initially connect your forum ID with the email name, but I'm on the correct page now.
Sounds good and no rush. As for my ID, this place converted me (though I really like your gold coinage
).

Caveats:
1) cancelled dies with >100 years of deterioration, so surfaces and devices are very impacted.
2) I am not a Morgan attributor.
However:
The 1884-CC cancelled dies, appearing to be a matched pair, with "37" stamped on the shanks of the dies may allow identification of the 1884-CC VAM.
After looking closely, it may be possible that these could be VAM 10.

One other little factoid on the Carson City cancelled dies:
These Moonlight Mint pieces were made using a matched pair of cancelled Carson City dies, with "37" stamped on the shanks of the dies.
The Don Schmitz cancelled die strikes used a cancelled 1884 Carson City obverse die, identified as die "38".
As Dan mentions in his documentation, the two cancelled die 1884 obverses are clearly different, with the “X” cancellations each in a different location.
