Oh and as an Update, I did send some of the smaller diameter Tokens, many of them Daniel Carr pieces, to ICG (Independent Coin Graders) I - they were accepted earlier in the week so the timer is ticking... wish me lucks
My Carr collection is approx. 30 pieces and growing. I enjoy the design of each one. People who I show them to, appreciate the artistry. Have a good day. Peace Roy

I'm late "very late" comer to D.Carr. This is my only piece. I never had an active interest in his pieces. This will most likely be my only piece. It was unique how I acquired it. Thanks Dan!!

If you look above in this thread, I posted both kinds in the same lighting.
I can confirm Got the last two silver Winged St. Gaudens in today and they are both matte finish. Love them! I apologize for the poor quality of the pictures but I'm in my office and the lighting is less than ideal for my old iPhone.
The one on the left is the one that arrived earlier with my 1936 Peace. The one on the right is the new one. Completely different finishes and I agree Nick. Can't decide which I like better!
I've been looking for one of these 2018 WWI centennial concept dollars done for the U.S. Mint for years so I had to pick this up when it came across my radar!
@dcarr do you have any material that you received or created for this you can share to document the request from the US Mint?
As I remember, there were two phases to the design competition for the WW1 Centennial Dollar.
In the first phase, applicants submitted a resume and examples of their past work. This did not (yet) involve any designing for the WW1 coin.
From the pool of applicants from phase 1, the US Mint selected a number of artists to invite. Those invited were requested to submit renderings of their proposed design, as well as actual "sculpts" (galvanos). The Mint provided 9-inch diameter clear acrylic discs for artists to carve or use as bases for their sculpts.
This was an experimental program for the US Mint. It was the only design competition in recent times where actual sculpts were to be submitted by artists.
I carved my sculpts into the provided clear acrylic discs. I also cut 8-inch diameter black acrylic discs (which looked better than the clear, in my opinion). I submitted one set of clear sculpts and one set of black sculpts (and I kept one extra set of black sculpts). Eventually I also submitted two 38mm struck examples in silver.
Here are images of all the documents that I have regarding this design competition:
Original sketches:
Submitted renderings with different surface type and lighting style:
My extra set of black acrylic models:
Here is my letter that was sent with the materials:
This is the only related US Mint document that I have:
I helped some of you out today. I had many of the low pop items in my cart and then decided to remove them for others. I am trying to focus on his gold pieces and hope to maybe find something at the ANA.
I am looking into doing the 4 coins that use actual Seated Dollars. I will see what details graded coins I can find to send to DC.

Good idea. It's really important to focus. I picked up quite a bit today but I couldn't resist.
I'll be looking to do some with actual Seated Dollars as well.

Cool. That really lets me know what condition the host coin needs to be. I know to avoid larger rim dings and deep marks.
Missed out on the "1874-CC" Seated Liberty semi-proof-like over-strike, "MM" obverse counter-stamp, edge marked, only 19 produced. I'll have to look for one on the secondary market, although I doubt one of the 19 will part with it for quite a long time.
Did order some of the Seated Liberty dollars to be o/s on a Seated Liberty....and noted that lower price graded details coins on eBay have disappeared

Suitable coins can be very worn and/or polished. Avoid coins with planchet flaws, deep scratches, gouges, or edge cuts. Holes can be punched clean to a standard size and plugged with a 900 fine silver plug prior to over-striking. Add $50 per coin for hole plugging.

Thanks for posting. It confirms what I expected -- I didn't even try to order extras.
I’m not sure if there was a limit on the Elder satin pewter. I ordered 4 which was all that was remaining.
The lower-priced Elder re-strike (satin pewter) was the only Elder that wasn't limited to one per person/account. This was because there were a decent quantity of them available (100). But, as it turned out, one buyer took a big chunk of them.
All the "MM" counter-stamped and edge-marked Seated Liberties (which were struck on Morgan, Peace, and modern commemorative dollars) were also limited to one per person/account.

I don't have the correspondence from when I submitted the struck coins. But that occurred a little later than the main submission of required items because it took me a little longer to make the struck pieces.

Here's another tip for those of us getting Liberty Seated Dollars now.
Don't overstrike a toner if you want to preserve the toning
So I shouldn't use one that looks like this? I am a blast white kind of guy so maybe it would get rid of all that color??
One good thing, this project is going to take a fair amount of details Liberty Seated Dollars and make them AMAZING looking. They are in the best hands in the business.

I just purchased the the 1853 - Arrows and Rays Dollar - I have been waiting for @dcarr to do this for a while! Thanks Dan!
Yikes… sleep in one day and the pre struck New Orleans issues are gone.
I wasn’t one of the 19
That’s okay, I see there are still some overstrike issues available if you want to send in a genuine seated Liberty dollar…
Hmmmm , Do I have one or two of those laying around??
It's all about what the people want...
Ditto.
I also put the 1837 into my cart. But it sold-out before I could checkout.

just bought the last "1874-S" Seated Liberty and a 1986 silver eagle. all seated libertys are gone unless you send mr carr one.

Your Price: USD $210.00
Those are nice. I'm guessing some will show up for sale soon so keep your eyes out.
At the same time, if you're willing to pay much more, you can still get one struck over a Liberty Seated Dollar.

What's the min-grade you can accept to make an o/s Seated Dollar?

would you really be able to tell the difference between the mm and the one that was struck on a seated liberty?
The edge lettering would be the give away plus maybe some ghosting of the host coin.
