My Norse arrived today. I won't embarrass myself by including a crappy photo of the medal (which is excellent btw). Instead, take a look at the great set of Lucy stamps on my envelope:
The medal does not have any residual artifacts of the original coin while viewing without any magnification.
Looks like Hershey Kisses and Judy Garland stamps.
240 is a better admission price. I actually got autodeclined on my 250, 265, 285 best offers. Then I looked up production info. Next time I will access mintage data first. I haven't bought a DC goodie in a while. This M.A.D. ,but not actually a legit M.A.D. error offering got my hopes up.
I wondered why the Reverse was fully struck, now I know.
Cool !
I might as well add my images to the mix, now that I've unpacked it and taken photos.
I must add that this was the fastest shipment I have ever received from Dan. I ordered on December 20th and received shipping notification the same day, within an hour or two actually.
Had I not been out of work with the covid, I would have posted long ago.
Anyway, as others have mentioned, it is somewhat difficult to take photos showing the ghosting of the host coin underneath, but in the right light I can tell this one was struck over a 1942-D Walking Liberty Half. I tried to highlight the details of the host coin where visible in the photos.
My Norse arrived today. Very well done, Mr Carr. When tilting coin under light, you can see ghost remnants of the underlying Walking Liberty Half. I also seem to have inadvertently started a shipping envelope collection.
😊
I just had to pick me up one more Norse. This one has a much stronger WLH undertype.
The black image shows it better, even the sun came out to play…..lol

I spend a lot of time searching DCs online record of mint output. There are a few items I hope to see in person some day. A 2.5 oz gold token like this is one of them. There are also a few rectangular shaped silver bars that look really cool online.
There are certainly a lot of rare and wonderful things Dan's created over the years!
I just got back from the annual So-Called Dollar Fellowship and I was able to see very rare and high condition pieces that I would normally never get a chance to see.
It would be great to have a Dan Carr Club or something similar where people can get together and share their rare Moonlight Mint items!
I have this piece which says DCC on the obverse. I like to think of it standing for "Dan Carr Club" but it really stands for "Denver Coin Club".

Those double eagle overstrikes are beautiful. I had every intention of buying an 1848 cal, but finances being what they were, I couldn't get the host coin before he ended production.
The next historical overstrike he decides to make, I'm in.
@Akbeez said:
Are your double eagle overstrikes shipping? I think mine was the last to send in ~~ have not gotten any shipping notice yet.
All have been shipped.
The shipping email notifications are sent automatically when I mark the order as "shipped" in the store's database.
But if it was a mailed-in order (payment by check with host coin), then there is no order in the store's database to mark as "shipped". In some cases I might not even have or know the buyer's email address.
Would it be possible to have the USPS Tracking number added to the ship notice when the order ships? I don't know if that could be set-up to be automatic so it doesn't cost you a lot of time to do it manually?
If I was using shipping labels, there might be a way to do that (with some effort to set it up).
But most of the time I am using up bunches of older stamps (that don't work with shipping labels). And so I would have to look up, and then manually enter into the database, every tracking number.
Expensive shipments are always sent via Registered mail, so there is always a trail to follow (if necessary).

Okay! Let's move this along, for the same, do we like "Dan Carr Club" or "Moonlight Mint Club"?
I am probably leaning towards DCC since almost every token/coin I own has an Dan Carr ANACS label.
PS. For those wondering, still no word from ANACS about the 9 stolen items. Last contact was 1/4/2022. UPS was still investigating the theft (Holiday delays). No reply to 1/11/2022 email.
Most kids: When I grow up, I wanna be a fireman!
Dan Carr: When I grow up, I wanna be a Mint!
Suffice to say I'm in awe of his abilities and resources.
Is there really a need for another “club”? This forum is a good space already, and doesn’t require any maintenance 😀. The KOTCT is all but dead anymore (even tho it really isn’t about the MM, but sort of morphed that direction).

Sounds good!
So who wants to be a charter member of the Dan Carr Club?
Of course, we need to ask Dan @dcarr if he's okay with the club and name!
If we get a chance at a yearly commissioned Dan Carr Club piece then I’m in!!
I’m actually in without the yearly piece, this thread has had so much traffic I think you could get a pretty good club going.

Where did you store those? Now I have to visit my safety deposit box and see if my Octagons have toned.
Anyway, yes, it looks like you've got three 1.5 oz 2015 silver octagons. Mintages are listed HERE (scroll down to the section titled "2015 Clark Gruber & Co. Gold & Silver Rounds & Octagons").
Edit: AFAIK, all the 2015 1.5 oz silver Octagons have the "D" mintmark. If I'm wrong, maybe Dan will chime in.

Then I looked up production info at Moonlight Mint.
I found 700 fantasy errors produced that are exactly same:

That was a commissioned item (I'm not sure exactly why they wanted those).
The request was for an obverse die that was engraved off-center.
So the die is actually centered for the over-strike, but the engraving on the die is intentionally offset.
Looks like Hershey Kisses and Judy Garland stamps.
I believe these are around $240 on CCN through the Chopper.

Actually, that is not a die crack on the arm. It is the residual outline of the arm from the original host coin showing through.

I might as well add my images to the mix, now that I've unpacked it and taken photos.
I must add that this was the fastest shipment I have ever received from Dan. I ordered on December 20th and received shipping notification the same day, within an hour or two actually.
Had I not been out of work with the covid, I would have posted long ago.
Anyway, as others have mentioned, it is somewhat difficult to take photos showing the ghosting of the host coin underneath, but in the right light I can tell this one was struck over a 1942-D Walking Liberty Half. I tried to highlight the details of the host coin where visible in the photos.

My Norse arrived today. Very well done, Mr Carr. When tilting coin under light, you can see ghost remnants of the underlying Walking Liberty Half. I also seem to have inadvertently started a shipping envelope collection.

Other silver eagles, and on the larger format - I would have thought them more difficult than a smaller module like the half.`

I just had to pick me up one more Norse. This one has a much stronger WLH undertype.
The black image shows it better, even the sun came out to play…..lol

The design appears like he might just accidentally circumcise himself.
I can’t unsee this now 😳

Okay! Let's move this along, for the name, do we like "Dan Carr Club" or "Moonlight Mint Club"?

I am probably leaning towards DCC since almost every token/coin I own has an Dan Carr ANACS label.
PS. For those wondering, still no word from ANACS about the 9 stolen items. Last contact was 1/4/2022. UPS was still investigating the theft (Holiday delays). No reply to 1/11/2022 email.

Sounds good!
So who wants to be a charter member of the Dan Carr Club?
Of course, we need to ask Dan @dcarr if he's okay with the club and name!
If we get a chance at a yearly commissioned Dan Carr Club piece then I’m in!!
I’m actually in without the yearly piece, this thread has had so much traffic I think you could get a pretty good club going.
As a charter member of the DCC club, I treated myself to the following:

Those are nice. Got my first Octagon at the end of the year. No silver bars yet.

I must have missed the "5 ouncer". I really like the hologram 3 once bar above.

I now have all years except the inaugural year, 2015. Still need to hunt down one of those.
I've secured a couple of duplicates along the way as well. I picked them up for trade material.

Suffice to say I'm in awe of his abilities and resources.
Is there really a need for another “club”? This forum is a good space already, and doesn’t require any maintenance 😀. The KOTCT is all but dead anymore (even tho it really isn’t about the MM, but sort of morphed that direction).

I’m lucky Enuff to be one of the
only 3 people that have one of these ‼️‼️‼️👍👍👍🎯🎯👀‼️‼️Looks better “ in hand” than the picture shows‼️‼️‼️‼️👀‼️👀‼️‼️‼️Dan’s amazing ‼️‼️‼️🎯👀‼️‼️‼️‼️

I'm lucky to have one. Really like the design and only 95 minted.
I'll let you know if I see one for sale.

What does the 2015 go for?
Well, just Love coins, period.
I wasn't serious about a Dan Carr Club at first. I was just commenting on the "DCC" on my coin until others showed interest.
I love the KOTCT and it's sad to hear it's all but dead. I collected their pieces for over 10 years. I'll try to drop in and see what's up.
I drop in a couple times per week. It's a virtual ghost town.
Turtle is the most active participant, and I think he's even given up.

Are these the 2015-D?
PS……I should have said…… I don’t know only 95 we’re minted.
So are these them? I bought three cause I needed to fill the
Metal the blanks were cut out of.

Good question.
IIRC, a couple years ago an MS70 2015 Octagon was listed on ebay for a fixed price $699.
But I couldn't find any current listings nor recent sales on ebay. So who knows?

Where did you store those? Now I have to visit my safety deposit box and see if my Octagons have toned.
Anyway, yes, it looks like you've got three 1.5 oz 2015 silver octagons. Mintages are listed HERE (scroll down to the section titled "2015 Clark Gruber & Co. Gold & Silver Rounds & Octagons").
Edit: AFAIK, all the 2015 1.5 oz silver Octagons have the "D" mintmark. If I'm wrong, maybe Dan will chime in.

Thanks, they were stored in the safe on top of the strips that I had and over the years everything toned.
All of the coins are toned now.
