I bought this from him May 2020...... his shop on eBay is still open........ I tried to contact him by writing a letter to the address that the item was sent from and didn’t get a response . I not sure if it’s him running his store on Fleabay‼️
If you want to protect your new 2022 UHR Saint from the elements (tarnish),........ the air-tite 35mm fits perfect‼️‼️👍‼️Snug, and doesn’t rattle...... don’t know how a “ direct fit capsule will do.
The new Ultra High Relief looks good as jewelry in this necklace I made using jade and an air-tite “universal ornament capsule ‼️I can put any size piece in it as long as it’s silver eagle size, (40)mm or less, with the inset they sell‼️
Okay everyone, here's an experiment. As mentioned earlier, it would be great to have a Daniel Carr Minting Society something similar.
I've been thinking about how to run this without duplicating a lot of the effort that's already happening or ending up with a lot of effort that's only done by me, leading to burnout
I'm working on an article for focusing on Dan's "error" coins for a major publication in the August time frame and while I have a few of these myself and Dan's been gracious enough to let me use his photos, I think it could be fun to open up the article to showcase pieces from fellow collectors. We have enough pieces for the article as is but I think it could be fun to let people contribute.
So here's the idea:
People can contribute "error" coins for the article, including photos and content / descriptions
The article will be published in association with the Minting Society
If you are okay to have your name published, the photos will be attributed to you. If you desire not to have your name shown, it will say "Minting Society member" or something
What do people think? As mentioned, I'm okay to do this article without this, but if people want in, it could be a fun way to kick off the society as we experiment with what works in the context of having a forum for our basis of communication.

Okay. Here's some more information on this article.
It will focus on issues that look substantially like U.S. Mint coins, with a primary focus on fantasy dates. Things beyond fantasy dates can be considered but may need to appear in a different article in the future.
If there's interest, I can post a draft article when it's ready so people can take a look and comment.

I'm not sure, but it would be great if he is. His posts first got me thinking about these pieces seriously since this was a big collecting focus of his.

That is super cool!!! I placed an order to Dan Carr for a 1934 $20 Sain Gaudens fantasy strike but he sold out and my check was misplaced. MR. Carr offered to strike one more coin or he had a multiple strike piece he would give me instead. I took the multiple strike coin and is is a fantastic triple struck coin.
@Farmer1961 said:
I will try and post an image of the triple struck 1934 soon.
This would be a great feature for your newsletter, @zoins
I love the story Farmer1961, and cant wait to see how this one looks...
I think I saw the 1934 $20 triple strike at Colorado Springs Coin Show a few years ago. The 3 or 4 strikes were all over the place, if it's the same one. Daniel had it in a flip in his pocket.

No coins need to be sent.
I'm new to this group but have been collecting Dan's work and have followed this thread for years. I think this is a great idea! I am not allowed to post pics (or even change my avatar pic yet), but will do so when the moderators allow it. TC
While I have a sizable collection of Dan's pieces that he's put out over the years, I have exactly one piece that might be considered an error piece.....an ex- @Nickpatton 2017 4th gathering of the so-called dollar fellowship with a rotated second strike on aluminum. This would not qualify under the "focus on issues that look substantially like U.S. Mint coins, with a primary focus on fantasy dates".
.
I look forward to seeing the complete article! I love looking through Dan's catalogue of minted pieces. I read of some of the 'errors' within each production, but, expectedly, photos are lacking of those 'error' pieces within his catalogue. This article with fill in the gap between his catalogue, where the primary issues are photographed, and the 'errors', which are only described.
. @Zoins - will the article be limited to 'errors' that Dan let out into the wild, or will any of the 'errors' be covered that he may have retained for his personal collection, and perhaps have no other examples in the wild?

Awesome @felinfoel! Both of those are great to include!
Benny @Voyageur was a great person, forum member and Dan Carr collector, helping many people get started with Dan's work. We can dedicate the article to his memory.
In addition to products that look substantially like U.S. Mint coins, products that look substantially like U.S. Mint medals can be included as well, where I'm primarily thinking of the 2020 Wilson Dollar Centennial.

Ugh! I vaguely remember someone here making their own slabs or buying slabs and customizing them. I just want to get these 2 oz rounds out of their flips, they're starting to tarnish at the top which is common with DC silver and copper.

It's easier to see in the hand than photograph, but the "S" is plainly visible ghosted beneath the overstrike.
