    If you leave those rubber bands on those flips eventually the end coins will be marked with a stripe where the rubber band was.

    I’m guessing those are all empty flips and he moved the coins into his own slabs.

    Zoid, do you make your own labels? Asking for a friend. ;-)

    Yeah, I lay them out in an Excel spreadsheet and print them on full sheet label stock. I have a color laser printer that creates really sharp images.

    Using a faint gray border between spreadsheet cells and a full sheet paper cutter helps.

    Zoid,

    The DC items seem like a large collection. Focused and with purpose. I don’t see a problem.

    That said, I wouldn’t show this group a picture of all your non DC exonumia flips. You might get a different answer.

    I've sold 11 DC overstrikes this past month on the 'bay. Nine were raw, two were graded. All auctions began at 99 cents, 10-day, had some pleasant surprises. If you're interested in the results, PM me.

    Hey thanks again for posting this,

    I initially ordered 1 piece when these first went on sale and got one of the first ones which looks lovely.

    Dan said he had sand blasted the die a bit further after producing some so when you posted I jumped and got a second one. Next time I am close to them, ill take some pics together for compare/contrast.

    It's all about what the people want...

  • LukeMarshallLukeMarshall Posts: 1,958 ✭✭✭✭✭

    There were a few Carrs that I sent out to ANACS recently, they got there last Monday and the grades were posted Friday. I choose to get the Gold imaged through their service and picked registered mail as a return shipping service.

    Six coins - all 69s and 70s split down the middle 3 & 3.
    Very pleased with the results and will share some pics when they are in hand.

    It's all about what the people want...

  • LukeMarshallLukeMarshall Posts: 1,958 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Just to add,

    I think that ANACS is the premier grading service for anything Daniel Carr.
    They have obviously seen and encapsulated much of his work, so their experience outclasses any other TPG that may slab "one or two" of Dan's work.

    Honorable Mention to ICG for slabbing the breadth of Moonlight mint items, but alas I have no experience with them... yet. There are some smaller diameter pieces in my collection that would look good in their tinier slab that I may send out soon and will report back.

    It's all about what the people want...

    It has gotten very quiet here. Some of the people that post a lot have gone away. No new things posted in a while. All the way back into May to see new things. Where has everyone gone? Summer break? I hope DC puts some new items up for sale soon.......

    Here is a sneak peek for you…

    Giving ANACS praise for the grading time of 5 business days, the slab image was posted 4 business days later.

    Here is an image of the token in the catalog,

    And here is the “Slab View”

    Exciting that it graded a 70, yes!!

    But, I think the Eagle is supposed to face the reverse… 🤔 I called them to see if they could re-orient the coin but it had shipped already.

    I don’t know, the more I look at it, the more I like the current orientation…

    What you y’all think?

    I like that one a lot and it looks good that way in the slab. I am guessing since the other side says "Twenty D" and that is the reverse of a Double Eagle they placed it this way. I hope the ANA has more DC items to pick from.

  • TomBTomB Posts: 21,108 ✭✭✭✭✭

    ANACS got the slab orientation of that one right, in my opinion.

    Someone has listed one of Dan's 2022 gold St. Gaudens (MS-70) on the bay. I'm kind of surprised to see one on the market so quickly. Beautiful token.

    https://www.ebay.com/itm/134157716635?hash=item1f3c6c4c9b:g:2WEAAOSw5cpiugzB

  • LukeMarshallLukeMarshall Posts: 1,958 ✭✭✭✭✭

    @BucketHead

    That one is a nice example. Perhaps they just needed some money, who can say

    but...

    with a starting price of
    $3250
    and no ebay store it will incur a 13% final value fee
    -422.5
    The Cost of the Medal was
    -2650
    and Grading Fees
    -29
    shipping and returning from ANACS
    -21 (conservative)
    and packing and shipping to future customer (with insurance)
    -27.5

    = $100

    And the seller is making a grand total of about $100 bucks on that Item
    Ebay is the biggest winner by far in that equation.

    It's all about what the people want...

    Seems like a very tough way to make $100. Should have sold the recent Peace Dollar offering. Me, I’m keeping them. Hoping some new things come out soon.

  • BucketHeadBucketHead Posts: 129 ✭✭✭

    Way too much work for a 100 dollar profit but I'm assuming that the seller is anticipating that it will end higher than that based on the grade. I wish the pictures had a bit more definition. In some of the other images of similar tokens from this run there have bee significant visible artifacts from the maple leaf remaining.

  • dunkleosteus430dunkleosteus430 Posts: 471 ✭✭✭✭

    Can he legally put "United States of America Two Thousand Dollars" on there? The gold's not even worth that much.

    No coins but some Chilton County peaches, the July Princes.

    Welcome back. I bet those taste amazing. Never had a fresh from the tree peach. A lot of apples while picking so if anything like that, wow.

    Dan has been putting symbolic values on his tokens for some time and if it were illegal I think he would have stopped by now. As far as that "symbolic" value goes, as of writing this gold spot is $1,816 and a standard 1oz gold round over at APMEX, quantity of 1, paid for by CC, will set you back $1,991... Close enough to 2K for me and much more accurate than the Gresham's Law driven $50.00 face value that the mint is slapping on the AGE's.

    I hope somebody here won the 2009 half-oz DC gold piece that ended last night at GC. I think it had a pop of 21 in all. I was going to bid but am doing everything I can to stay patient to over pay for a couple of his one oz versions when available.
