    Annoyed I was camping this weekend and missed out completely but even more annoyed the items didn’t remain on his site marked sold out so I could at least see what I missed out on. 🤷🏽‍♂️

    Early production report on the o/s on Seated Liberty Dollar coins: http://www.moonlightmint.com/blog_52.htm

    eleven - 1837-0 die pair 1
    ten - 1853-O die pair 2
    twelve - 1874-CC die pair 3
    six - 1874-S die pair 4

    I'm sure there will be more of the Seated Liberty Dollar coins being sent in over the next few weeks. That said, at this point the 1874-S appears to have the head start to the lowest production of these four.
    I wonder how the final production on these will end up compared to the 19 of each with MM counterstamp and edge lettering.

    But maybe not as many as you'd expect. That is, I'm having a hard time finding a suitable host coin.

    That is the type I am searching for. Anything details so that it can be brought back to life. With the silver dollar version selling for $600 it isn't too far off to find a details coin and have that done. DC also commented that they come up much nicer.

    After the availability for purchased appeared on Moonlight Mint, there were some suitable host coins available on eBay, but those went quick and now only higher priced options remain.

    Same here. I'm worried what I pick will be "wrong" and what I get back is sub optimal leaving me disappointed. 🤷 maybe I'll sit out.

    I have Dan's 1970 Ag and CuNI die pair 4 Ikes, his 1975 Ag and CuNI die pair 5 Ikes, and his 1975 Ag die pair 1 Ike. These were the very first of Dan's art that I started collecting. I had some redundancies of these, and sold off all but one redundancy - the 1975 CuNi die pair 5 Ike depicted below (which is acquiring some nice target toning) (alongside Dan's 1975 Kennedy CuNi and Washington CuNi).

    Wish I got into Dan Carr / Moonlight Mint collecting when the die pair 2 and die pair 3 production came out. Anyone here have all of the various Ike die pair options? (kudos, if so)

    @dcarr How much time do we have to track down a Seated dollar ? Economical options are quite scarce at the moment. Would a counter stamp be a disqualification ?
    Thanks!

    I'm hoping we'll be able to order for many months.

    But maybe the real question is, how long can we delay submitting a host coin after ordering a Seated Dollar?

    i have serious questions about these auctions, i was watching both closely to pick one up cheap, they were both at about 200 bucks cheap, an hour later they were both at 400 or more. funny thing is you can get the 1975 ike, 40% for 250. still listed.

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

    @silverbul ask @D808LF if he got paid for those Auctions and you will know if they were legit bids. If you got to his profile page there are some other recent acutions and prices realized - very interesting.

    I bid strongly on a Die pair 1 "o mint" Morgan that I was missing - it was in a MS69 CAM holder from ANACS so maybe extra value there.

    Anyway my $420 nuclear bid was blown out the water and I came up empty handed... so there are some heavy hitters picking up DCARR pieces it seems.

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

    I have auction results on my wall if anyone is interested; does not reflect recent auctions. I've been very pleased with the results.

    I always thought the 1909-o Morgans were real sleepers. Back then everyone was so focused on getting Dan's original 1964 Peace overstrikes that his original Morgans flew under the radar.

    That coin sold for $175 in 2011 on Dan's site. Add in grading, shipping, etc, and its over $200 in original cost. Then add in inflation. Plus CAM means a lot to some people (including me), so that boosts it. I sent three proof-like 1909s to ANACS years ago, and only one came back CAM.

    Prices are definitely strong, but I think the recent prices on Dan's Washington quarters, Kennedy halves, those two Ikes, etc., are way crazier

    Alot of Carr Art collectors buy & hold. Their strong hands help inflate resale of the few offers that trade hands.
    I have paid up for a few items I needed/wanted & appreciate the flippers or collectors who chose to part ways with their goodies.

    I saw everything recently offered and jumped on nothing. I looked & looked & looked again over an hour, then stuff started selling out.
    I am not a fan of counter punches. They are still cool, highly desirable, obviously.

    I don't buy MM items for resale. I guess at some point that will change due to aging out of my hobbies, but for last few decades that how I collect.

    Just revisiting things with this thread, it's amazing how much the prices have increased on some of the older D. Carr pieces too! A real ground-swell since I last looked.....makes me want to start buying up these pups again! My 1916 Barber Halves & 22 Walkers are probably 7x what I paid for them!

    That's a gorgeous Gobrecht, Chief!

    Carr is a true Intellectual Numismatist. As usual I will regret not buying something I saw factory fresh & available. But unlike my Coinage Art Hero Dan Man I cannot mint money. Sometimes the budget does not align with fun hobby expenditures. Buy what you love when you can. These shopping opportunities are fleeting.

    I won't be cutting off orders any time soon, since people will need time to find some. A coin show might be a better bet than eBay right now.

    A typical counter-stamp (advertising) is pretty deep and it would show traces after the over-strike.

    There are prices against those so Dan should have photos on dc-coin.com you can compare against.
