1936 Peace Dollars are the first to sell out. I thought the $20 Saint would be since it has such low mintage.
I know it shows one Peace Dollar per house/account. How is it that some people end up with multiple items like these? Build several accounts?
Is there a place where the mintage of the one ounce gold ($20 Saint) is listed? I expected this was mint to demand for a period of time.
That could be. It shows 2 minted but in the past it was around 15-19 if I remember correctly. Maybe the Peace is the only one that is capped at this time.

Here's a very nice MMOH medal from President Dan Carr! The medal and photos are from errors.mostly who has a bunch of Dan's pieces and has been showing off some great photography skills lately.
This one looks like it was struck on a 39mm brass blank. I'd love to have one on a Sacagawea blank. Do any exist?
While not the lowest production numbers (est. 78 minted), the 2015 MMOH overstrikes seem to show up less frequently on the resale market than any other year, except perhaps the 2009's and 2017's (200 & 60 minted respectively).
Great piece!
I'm not too worried about the mintages for these since so many are unique!

Mintage only matters if you can't spend $5000 now and want to come back to the site in a month to top off the tank
I picked up the Peace and the $20 Saint Gold. If the others are still around in a few weeks maybe more will come my way.
Help! I recently placed my first ever order with Dan Carr for the peace dollar. Does anyone know if they allow an addition to an existing order? LOL I would like to save the additional 10 dollar shipping charge for a gallon of two of gas thanks for any info

When that happened to me in the past, I just made a second order and paid additional shipping, even though both orders were shipped together (not an issue for me). BUT! depending on what you originally ordered (still available), just cancel it and place new order.
@pcgscacgold said:
I was just surprised that 100 different people have already ordered the Peace dollar. He has a very large fan base I guess.
I think, and I may be wrong but you can only put one in your cart. So if you check out and then place another order you can keep buying as many as you would like. You obviously are paying the $10 shipping for every one you order but you are technically bypassing the one per customer rule.

This one is gorgeous and I'll have to think about it seriously!
My only question is why are these struck on Canada Maple Leaf coins instead of US gold coins?
Canada 1-troy-oz gold Maple Leaf coins are 9995 or 9999, but more importantly, they are smaller in diameter and thicker than most other 1-troy-oz gold coins. The thickness allows for higher relief.
The Maple Leafs are convenient. But of course, I can also make my own blanks and I might do that for some.
.

I expect Gold prices to be very volatile over the next months (War, Interest Rates, Government Spending, etc). Could we see price adjustment (similar to the US Mint Bullion Pricing) Is a lock in now best?

I can’t say I like anything the USMINT is doing ‼️‼️When the 2021 Morgan cc & o came out is an example........ I started trying to order one at 15 minutes before noon the first day...tried for an hour and gavel up when they said they were sold out ‼️‼️And the 2021 D and S I got next time came back from the grading company MS68and MS69 ....... nearly every high grade Dan Carrs come back MS70......here’s a trick on getting them graded.........don’t send two of the same kind, ( The graders tend to compare them to each other, and usually MS70 one, and MS69 the other..... just send one kind at a time)‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

As of this morning gold appears to be moving back under $2000. I am glad I bought the Saint when I did but the increased prince to $2725 probably would not have stopped me. I have wanted one of Daniel's Saints and the people that own the past ones never sell.
Interesting because the seller is listed as a "Top rated seller" with over 100% rating on 3000+ sales. Looks like those that shop in Ebay need to be very careful.
Interesting Note on the "Fourty / Forty" Spelling.
I didn't pickup any of the previous winged liberty Silver pieces, but after reading Dans comments on this new higher "Ultra High Relief" I purchased one off the website and cant wait to admire it for the piece of Medallic Art that it is.
Reading back through this thread and others, seeing the Previous Peace Dollar offerings its apparent the amount of knowledge and care thats going into the 1936 prooflike piece. I was fortunate enough to snag one of the hundred before the sellout and this will be my first Carr Peace Dollar.
Lastly, some of you may have seen my attempts thusfar at putting together a set of the Clark Gruber Half Eagles ( currently only missing 2017 and 2020 ) well I had to get the 2022 "while the gettins good".
Thanks for the newest rounds of offerings Daniel Carr and congrats to those here who got some goodies!
(Also thanks to those who tipped me off on the new products,,, you know who you are 👀)

Well, Almost Never... I managed to find one on the secondary market this past month so there's hope
This one was actually privately offered to me a while back and it sat in the back of my mind until the day came where I could no longer resist the urge... In hand its an absolute beauty
Your 1oz Winged Liberty will no doubt be a treat and congrats on the pickup!
Slightly off topic but figured this group would know. When is the next open house? Is the mint open daily? Might be heading to Colorado this summer and would be interested in visiting but no clue if that's a possibility.

Yes @LukeMarshall that is the Saint I want to add someday (1934). You are lucky to have people like that reaching out to you. I will watch for your two missing dates at Central States and the ANA.
Originally I was purchasing a Morgan Dollar from them, but I couldn't help asking "hey did you happen to have any Daniel Carr Gold?" and that has opened up dialogue a couple times now...
Appreciate the lookout, coin shows are few and far in-between in my area so I'm somewhat limited to the interwebs. I'll keep you in mind if I get another lead on this particular Double Eagle.

I happily ordered first day. I considered premium to melt to be fair for that Item at that time. I expect the price/cost will only increase in the near future. Things look bleak, ALL commodity prices increasing. These will cost more... I think.

I was going to buy it and thought I had until I looked at my invoice later on. The $75 increase just bugs me a little. As for their future value, I would also speculate that they would be money makers even at the premium. But these rarely seem to make it to the secondary market and we just cannot know if Carr's work will maintain an institutional status in the hobby. I think it will and it should. But without a numismatic following, mintages are not very relevant. You can buy foreign gold proofs with obscenely low mintages for very little premiums over melt. There is a dice roll in it all.

I think there will always be interest in Dan’s work as well, but it will probably always be a small niche in the greater hobby. This thread appears to be the busiest “activity” for Moonlight Mint products on the entire web, and yet only a handful of individuals regularly participate. I agree with you about mintages. They are not really that important since basically every Carr issue is limited. I’ve enjoyed collecting certain issues throughout the years, but I must admit that I’m currently in a rut with all my hobbies.

At the time I raised the price by $75, gold had just shot up by $50 and I hadn't yet purchased the few more gold Maple Leafs that I would need. But now that gold has dropped back to where it was before, I lowered the price back to $2,650. Had there been any purchases at the higher $2,725 price, I would now refund the $75 difference. But there were no sales of them during the time I had the $2,725 price in place.
I still believe the earliest purchase will be the best (I don't think the price will be better than $2650). My 34MM-ASG_MCMVI_Au1 needs a 30MM-ASG_MMXXII_G1 little sister 😁! Now eagerly awaiting, production, shipping, and delivery!
Y’all need to look at the USMINT and what they are doing.......... palladium Eagles...... palladium goes up $100 ..USMINT goes up $300‼️‼️👎👎
Palladium goes up $200 ....USMINT takes them off the market.... sez they aren’t available anymore (even though the day before they had 3 different years available for purchase because they were priced so ridiculously high no one would buy them‼️‼️‼️👎👎‼️
Today palladium is $3000.... USMINT price$3900‼️‼️👎👎👎
Y’all need to leave, “you know who” alone‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
Although his gold comes up relatively infrequently on the secondary market, the prices are occasionally not really that high. Most of us are loyal collectors and not flippers and so keep them. I have seen some of his pieces sold through "non-interested" parties and they go for not much beyond bullion - won't get mine at fireside prices or any prices at all. LOL.

I took notice when I revisited the site. It all made sense too. Ordered mine. The UHR was impossible to pass up.
Here's a great Moonlight Mint Open House piece struck on an 1884-CC cancelled die restrike which brings back great memories of striking these pieces.
I'm not sure if it's worth more or less being struck by the Open House dies, but I'm a history nut and mementos of the the Covid era are important to me. Arranging travel was tricky due to Covid but we made it. In California where I'm from, everyone wore masks, and when I arrived in Colorado, no one was wearing masks. It was great to see how different areas were responding. Brings back good memories.
I've got a muliple strike 1934 Carr Saint (3 times off center) which is unique. Also urchased a 1908-0 $20 and two 1848 CAL. double eagle's which only 13 were minted.

1936 Peace Dollars are the first to sell out. I thought the $20 Saint would be since it has such low mintage.
I know it shows one Peace Dollar per house/account. How is it that some people end up with multiple items like these? Build several accounts?

All I can say is that I sure do wish that Dan left the spelling of the value on the St. Gaudens one ounce as it was.
Now the new pieces will be all "which one is not like the others" . . . .
I fancied the original spelling to be more "British" and looks more "correct" to my eyes.
That's how I always spelt it anyways . . . . .

I can’t say I like anything the USMINT is doing ‼️‼️When the 2021 Morgan cc & o came out is an example........ I started trying to order one at 15 minutes before noon the first day...tried for an hour and gavel up when they said they were sold out ‼️‼️And the 2021 D and S I got next time came back from the grading company MS68and MS69 ....... nearly every high grade Dan Carrs come back MS70......here’s a trick on getting them graded.........don’t send two of the same kind, ( The graders tend to compare them to each other, and usually MS70 one, and MS69 the other..... just send one kind at a time)‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
Man, this sure has been an expensive week, and right after I vowed to curtail my acquisitions.
While waiting very patiently for Dan's new creations to arrive, I can take solace that these older Daniel Carr pieces will be here soon.
You've gotta love the production numbers on these. A tad over half the number of the 1936 Peace Dollar minted.
The copper strike has a unique acquisition story behind it as well.

They wouldn't be like each other even if it was spelled the same. The Fourty is 39mm and the forty is 34mm.
Interesting Note on the "Fourty / Forty" Spelling.
I didn't pickup any of the previous winged liberty Silver pieces, but after reading Dans comments on this new higher "Ultra High Relief" I purchased one off the website and cant wait to admire it for the piece of Medallic Art that it is.
Reading back through this thread and others, seeing the Previous Peace Dollar offerings its apparent the amount of knowledge and care thats going into the 1936 prooflike piece. I was fortunate enough to snag one of the hundred before the sellout and this will be my first Carr Peace Dollar.
Lastly, some of you may have seen my attempts thusfar at putting together a set of the Clark Gruber Half Eagles ( currently only missing 2017 and 2020 ) well I had to get the 2022 "while the gettins good".
Thanks for the newest rounds of offerings Daniel Carr and congrats to those here who got some goodies!
(Also thanks to those who tipped me off on the new products,,, you know who you are 👀)
It's all about what the people want...
Well, Almost Never... I managed to find one on the secondary market this past month so there's hope
This one was actually privately offered to me a while back and it sat in the back of my mind until the day came where I could no longer resist the urge... In hand its an absolute beauty
Your 1oz Winged Liberty will no doubt be a treat and congrats on the pickup!

Slightly off topic but figured this group would know. When is the next open house? Is the mint open daily? Might be heading to Colorado this summer and would be interested in visiting but no clue if that's a possibility.

I inadvertently didn't add that one to my order the other day and was going to this morning. Saw it had gone up $75 this morning. So on the fence now.
Yes @LukeMarshall that is the Saint I want to add someday (1934). You are lucky to have people like that reaching out to you. I will watch for your two missing dates at Central States and the ANA.

@pcgscacgold ,
Originally I was purchasing a Morgan Dollar from them, but I couldn't help asking "hey did you happen to have any Daniel Carr Gold?" and that has opened up dialogue a couple times now...
Appreciate the lookout, coin shows are few and far in-between in my area so I'm somewhat limited to the interwebs. I'll keep you in mind if I get another lead on this particular Double Eagle.
It's all about what the people want...
I happily ordered first day. I considered premium to melt to be fair for that Item at that time. I expect the price/cost will only increase in the near future. Things look bleak, ALL commodity prices increasing. These will cost more... I think.

Missed the 36 Peace dollar release , if anyone gets one and decides to sell please message me . Thanks!
Hey, what’s up
I was going to buy it and thought I had until I looked at my invoice later on. The $75 increase just bugs me a little. As for their future value, I would also speculate that they would be money makers even at the premium. But these rarely seem to make it to the secondary market and we just cannot know if Carr's work will maintain an institutional status in the hobby. I think it will and it should. But without a numismatic following, mintages are not very relevant. You can buy foreign gold proofs with obscenely low mintages for very little premiums over melt. There is a dice roll in it all.
I think there will always be interest in Dan’s work as well, but it will probably always be a small niche in the greater hobby. This thread appears to be the busiest “activity” for Moonlight Mint products on the entire web, and yet only a handful of individuals regularly participate. I agree with you about mintages. They are not really that important since basically every Carr issue is limited. I’ve enjoyed collecting certain issues throughout the years, but I must admit that I’m currently in a rut with all my hobbies.

At the time I raised the price by $75, gold had just shot up by $50 and I hadn't yet purchased the few more gold Maple Leafs that I would need. But now that gold has dropped back to where it was before, I lowered the price back to $2,650. Had there been any purchases at the higher $2,725 price, I would now refund the $75 difference. But there were no sales of them during the time I had the $2,725 price in place.
I still believe the earliest purchase will be the best (I don't think the price will be better than $2650). My 34MM-ASG_MCMVI_Au1 needs a 30MM-ASG_MMXXII_G1 little sister 😁! Now eagerly awaiting, production, shipping, and delivery!

Y’all need to look at the USMINT and what they are doing.......... palladium Eagles...... palladium goes up $100 ..USMINT goes up $300‼️‼️👎👎
Palladium goes up $200 ....USMINT takes them off the market.... sez they aren’t available anymore (even though the day before they had 3 different years available for purchase because they were priced so ridiculously high no one would buy them‼️‼️‼️👎👎‼️
Today palladium is $3000.... USMINT price$3900‼️‼️👎👎👎
Y’all need to leave, “you know who” alone‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
Although his gold comes up relatively infrequently on the secondary market, the prices are occasionally not really that high. Most of us are loyal collectors and not flippers and so keep them. I have seen some of his pieces sold through "non-interested" parties and they go for not much beyond bullion - won't get mine at fireside prices or any prices at all. LOL.
Well, just Love coins, period.
I took notice when I revisited the site. It all made sense too. Ordered mine. The UHR was impossible to pass up.
Here's a great Moonlight Mint Open House piece struck on an 1884-CC cancelled die restrike which brings back great memories of striking these pieces.
I'm not sure if it's worth more or less being struck by the Open House dies, but I'm a history nut and mementos of the the Covid era are important to me. Arranging travel was tricky due to Covid but we made it. In California where I'm from, everyone wore masks, and when I arrived in Colorado, no one was wearing masks. It was great to see how different areas were responding. Brings back good memories.
Thanks Dan!
Got my Shippy Dippy Notice from Dan !
Not on my usps informed delivery account today, maybe tomorrow for hand off
Thank You Very Much Moonlight Mint !!!
Yay‼️‼️👀‼️🎯👍👍me too‼️‼️👍🎯👀👀‼️👍‼️‼️‼️
Today the USMint CANCELLED plans for a 2022 Proof Peace dollar.
So maybe Dan will make one? I'd love an MMXXII version.
But I suppose it'd be prudent to wait until year's end, just in case the Mint decides to make any kind of 2022 Peace dollar.

I've got a muliple strike 1934 Carr Saint (3 times off center) which is unique. Also urchased a 1908-0 $20 and two 1848 CAL. double eagle's which only 13 were minted.
Congrats! That’s awesome!
Would love to see pics of the 1934!
Great opportunity Dan!
Yes, I will wait until 2022 is almost over before embarking on any such project.
But it certainly is a possibility.
How’s that old Irving Berlin song go........... anything the USMINT can do....... Dan can do better ‼️‼️🎯🎯👍👀‼️‼️‼️‼️> @dcarr said:
