I believe those (standard) capsules are 4.5mm deep, but Dan indicated that "The new ones (silver and gold) are about 0.050" relief height. Also, the new gold one is a little smaller in diameter at 30mm and so that has the effect of "concentrating" the same relief height in a smaller area (which makes the sides of the devices steeper).
For comparison, a typical Morgan Dollar has a relief height of about 0.015".
If the High Relief Peace is overstruck on previous Peace Dollars, then the capsule depth may be ok.
One more question regarding D. Carr coins and capsules... The majority of my regular D. Carr Peace Dollars (not the 2 oz, but the regular overstrikes) do not fit in the 38.1 mm Air-Tite capsules that I use for all my regular/original Peace Dollars. Anyone else have this experience? Apologies if this has already been discussed, I'm somewhat new to this forum. Is there a brand of capsule that might be better for them? They don't want to fully seat in the capsule base, they're just a little too big.
Here are a couple quick photos with no sun out today. Appears to have a die crack or something on the reverse from the start of States all the way to America. Also on obverse through out Liberty. Wondering if others have that too?

Yes there is a ghost image from Maple Leaf but I am wondering if all of these have the crack that runs along the edge. I don't believe a Maple Leaf is cracked like that.
I’m gonna guess that the “crack” you are seeing is the former edge of the maple leaf. Looks to me like the former edge of the host coin filled the space to the new edge. Also The “ghosting” or the previous coin artifacts perfectly say 1oz Gold in your picture, so your coin actually says it twice!!

Are these slightly larger than a maple?
Thanks for the info.
It’s a Beautiful coin in hand.
Is It Medallic turn? Maybe I should have said medal.
It looks amazing, I’m staring at the feather detail on both sides!

Yes, that us the inside edge of the Maple Leaf rim showing through. All of them have this effect to a similar degree.
I could not strike them any harder without having a wire rim rise up very high somewhere.
These were difficult to produce and if I make some for next year (dated 2023) then I will probably strike on virgin blanks instead.
As it stands now, the mintage is 22 and probably no more will be made.
Thanks for the detailed explanation @dcarr , I'm already looking forward to next years (and am hopeful I can track down a prior date example at Central States or the ANA).
This one is an outstanding treasure and a new favorite for me.

Hi all as a new poster on this forum I was impressed by all the positive remarks made concerning Dan Carr products. So I pulled the trigger and made a first time purchase of a St Gaudens silver and a 1936 peace dollar. Just received them in the mail and WOW are they beautiful! Will definitely buy more in the future and thanks to all the forum contributors who convinced me to purchase them
Well, I'm sure you're in for quite a lot of fulfillment collecting these. If you're like many here, Dan's works are habit forming.
You're also quite fortunate to have purchased the '36 Peace!
Edgar, you are a Numis~God !
I dig your cache of goodies.
We are lucky the have Carr Art to enhance our Exonumia pursuits.
Daniel has made collecting stuck items as thoughtful things of joy for me.
What's next ??? I do not know.
I never know, sometimes I guess, occasionally I am right, but really I just wait for & wonder...
Even though the UHRDE is SP or MS, and my Winged Saint is almost PL, I believe the releif appears deeper, even as compared to the PL UHRDEs. I really do appreciate his work!
Well, ebay has a lot of eyes and I would think that at least some of those eyes had/have no idea that you can buy directly from the source. Also, it only takes one...

These came back today from ANACS. These are the Gathering reverse that Dan did for Jeff Shevlin, which are very rare in nickel ....... Dan’s minted items says that only 9 of the Wilson obverse, and only 9 of the “ Coin Angel “ obverse. Jeff’s website says that only 7 of each obverse in nickel were minted , I’m thinking because something else was done to the other two of each kind........ (this is guessing because I don’t know)..... maybe select- plate or toning of some kind. Anyway, Dan’s the Man‼️‼️‼️👍🎯

The detail really shows (even though the others are slabbed), except no belly button
