Here's An Amigo pair housed in earlier release Daniel Carr live signature slabs.
Very awesome @LindyS! Both of these are spectacular! The Colorado theme is very fitting on this one. Thanks for sharing them!
From watching eBay auctions, I've come to associate the DC sticker on these slabs with forum member and Amigo @USAROK! He used to post quite a bit here and has posted some amazing Dan Carr pieces, but has tapered off recently.
I'm a big fan of numismatist and store card tokens so this is one of my favorites, which I was also able to pick up from @USAROK. This one is amazing to me because it has two surface effects, antiquing and spot color toning. Spot gold plating is common on some of these but spot color toning is super rare! In fact, I've never seen another!

Dan @dcarr , do you recall making this one? I haven't seen another spot color toned piece so I was wondering if there's a story behind this one. Thanks!
The COLORADO Denver Mint made medal is less common Silver issue for State's 100th.
Its an example of the deep thought involved when bringing coins to be overstruck. Then gold sprinkles gilt applied by the hand of Dan.
I wanted it when I first saw it at my local Barnes & Nobles meet up for my ebay purchases delivery, then a year later it was for sale right before he moved out of State.

These are great stories for these pieces Lindy! These deserve to be saved for posterity in a book or something!
I just picked up this top one as well. It goes well with the other "Denver Mint" medal pieces. I might try for a full set on these medals, at least the ones with a small overstriking die.

That's funny. I was just going through some things from 45 years ago and came across my Denver Mint Centennial piece still in the mint plastic and then you post it with an O/S from DC.

It's also fitting that Dan is based in Colorado and this was struck with a former Denver Mint press.
@Zoins that toned one is very cool! My goal at one point was to focus on just toned Carr pieces but it was too difficult to find many.
A quick question for those that follow Carr prices, is $275-$300 the best current price for a 1964 Peace Dollar (die pair 9)? I've been looking for one but haven't seen anything for less (those are eBay prices so I thought there would be a chance to do a little better on here).

From what I recall Daniel's Denver Mint Press likely struck the 39mm Off Center !

Guy I bought it from asked press operator to make him an off center, please ?
One & done, he did (Not) ask for two. I felt so lucky to have opportunity to own it.

Around that time frame (2015) I did a fair amount of post-strike color-toning on Open-House and other pieces.
I have not done very much of that in recent years. I suppose it is due to the unpredictability of the outcome as well as being labor-intensive.
That particular token was struck over an already antiqued bicentennial half dollar.
The over-struck areas went back to being somewhat brilliant.
Then the color toning was applied and it took effect mostly in the over-strike areas and the antiqued areas did not pick up much color.

EDIT: Disregard, I didn't see DC got Covid (again!).
Gotta say, first experience ordering direct from Moonlight Mint, and I'm not too happy. Ordered 10/14, shipping notification (no tracking) 11/4, still don't have it a month after ordering.
Is this normal?

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.

I signed up for informed delivery to track Daniel Carr packages a couple years ago.
It's been quite handy for other postal deliveries too !
But from what I read on random posts since signing up, USPS service does not work for post office box destinations.

I have two 10th Division, both nickel.
One is a VF pocket piece bought from Dan at local coin show, other is BU via fleabay.
I would LOVE to own a Silver example.
Seeing yours gives me great joy !
I believe the PO Box issue has to do with where you live. I’m so rural that they don’t have delivery and as such they give us a free PO Box. I have expanded tracking and it works fine. Difference is probably an area with delivery and PO Box available for rent You should see what we go through with companies that don’t ship to PO Box’s. 😉
Wow! There are some stunning coins in this thread. It looks like I got the 1908 penny just under the wire!
I wanted the Cal Double eagle too (the doner coin has been in my ebay cart for over a week), but I guess you snooze, you lose.
My cancelled die strikes came today. So did my 2021 MMOH overstrikes. Here is a fun one I sent. It used to be a perfectly decent 1923-S VAM-1C Top 50 Peace dollar. It was struck to preserve the strong pitting through the N of ONE. (This might get me crucified at VAMworld.)
I love my un-antiqued version of this coin, but that one is light-years more beautiful.

I am exceedingly fortunate to have secured that one. Uber thanks to my source on it.
I posted these elsewhere, but thought I would "double dip" in case you haven't seen the other thread. Here are a couple of interesting Moonlight Mint 2021 Open House pieces I was able to secure . . . . .

Oh shit, ok that explains it. No big deal then, hope he bounces back strong as ever! Long COVID is the worst.

@DelawareDoons I’d imagine Dan’s recovery from Covid slowed down production as well as shipping.
If you can Private Message me the order number, I will look up the tracking info.
I'll take you up on that if it doesn't show up in a couple days. Hope you're feeling better.

I didn't used to get many packages. Then I found Moonlight mint and Daniel Carr. I think I will sign up for that. Thanks.

I signed up for informed delivery to track Daniel Carr packages a couple years ago.
It's been quite handy for other postal deliveries too !
But from what I read on random posts since signing up, USPS service does not work for post office box destinations.
LindyS: I have both Informed Delivery and a USPS PO Box, and receive notifications just fine.

I get informed delivery notifications for my home address but not my PO Box in the same city. Some places get it for PO Boxes and some don't.
I love these silver prototype quarters! I wish I had gotten more. It would be great to have a full set but they hardly ever come up for sale.
Here are two of mine that I purchased directly from Dan 15 years ago.
I have two 10th Division, both nickel.
One is a VF pocket piece bought from Dan at local coin show, other is BU via fleabay.
I would LOVE to own a Silver example.
Seeing yours gives me great joy !

I believe the PO Box issue has to do with where you live. I’m so rural that they don’t have delivery and as such they give us a free PO Box. I have expanded tracking and it works fine. Difference is probably an area with delivery and PO Box available for rent You should see what we go through with companies that don’t ship to PO Box’s. 😉

Wow! There are some stunning coins in this thread. It looks like I got the 1908 penny just under the wire!
I wanted the Cal Double eagle too (the doner coin has been in my ebay cart for over a week), but I guess you snooze, you lose.
It's a good Monday. My 1908-s vdb arrived along with a 2015 Front Range CC bronze ingot #207. Linc looks real nice in my collection. Peace Roy

My cancelled die strikes came today. So did my 2021 MMOH overstrikes. Here is a fun one I sent. It used to be a perfectly decent 1923-S VAM-1C Top 50 Peace dollar. It was struck to preserve the strong pitting through the N of ONE. (This might get me crucified at VAMworld.)
A few "new to me" pieces arrived today.
Mintage numbers both raw and certified are insanely low.

I'm sorry I missed the 1908 cent, but blew a bunch on a CAL $20 and then comes out the '08! LOL
Well, just Love coins, period.
Nice pick ups. I hope to track down a 2018 KotCT someday. I have a few on my want list.

The 1908-O looks amazing in hand. I have no doubt we will like our 1848 CAL $20's as well.

@ZoidMeister - great photos and absolutely stunning coin!
I love my un-antiqued version of this coin, but that one is light-years more beautiful.

I am exceedingly fortunate to have secured that one. Uber thanks to my source on it.
I posted these elsewhere, but thought I would "double dip" in case you haven't seen the other thread. Here are a couple of interesting Moonlight Mint 2021 Open House pieces I was able to secure . . . . .

I don't remember seeing this one before. Shows November minting, in progress and for a distributor. Does anyone have info on this WLH? Has anyone seen these before?
