The images I took of the individual gold ASG inspired DC pieces yielded an unexpected surprise.
The "MMXXII" (2022) Ultra-High Relief over-struck onto a Canadian Maple Leaf had been offered by DC with no specific date recorded for the host coin, but as I looked through the photographs the date of the Canadian Maple Leaf popped out at me! My example is over-struck on a 1983 host coin. The date can be seen fairly readily in the image at around 4:00 o'clock and I have placed an oval around the "83" portion. In-hand the date is entirely invisible until the coin is tilted just right and then the entirety of "1983" becomes visible. I think that is pretty cool.

If you created a Carr account then you can see what you bought. Seems I dropped multiple k's supporting my favorite coinage artist, thoughtful artist hero. Use the date posted when you bought your different $20 gold fantasies and drill down here in this long endless thread into what was current, into that lost era here. Goofy color gold was chit chatted about back then. You will see Dan's responses to odd colored gold $20 reissues which were addressed and discussed and deeply buried over time. He has prepped donor coins differently that I read over time, different chemicals. 90 % Gold should look like real gold. It should look like real unplated versus shinny plated 24k that Gallery Mint routinely did plating over silver. Why would anyone plate gold on gold to make it look better and shinny ?
Thats crosses a big line for me and I won't buy any more of it.
I am stunned by this !!! Is this now acceptable ZOINS ????
So, Now its acceptable. Then Boo.
Thats just silly.
If plating gold on whatever to make it look more correct, then that is just like fake value current bit coin chaos.
69k to 16k and dropping... to nothing.
I am disillusioned.
Factory 24k Plating things after restruck or struck to make them market acceptable is a lie.
I have experimented with gold plating to change the color, but I do not normally do that and I have not done it on any issues in a number of years.
To get to an MS-69 (or 70) level when over-striking 900 fine gold pieces, I found the only way to get them pristine was to sandblast the coins first. That would remove every bit of gunk and any loose flecks of metal as well as planchet surface impurities. But it would tend to erode the gold on the surface a tiny bit more than the copper, leaving a slightly coppery look. Most of the time I would just leave them that way. A small number were electo-plated (prior to over-striking) with an extremely small amount of 999 gold to put back what was lost in the sandblasting and reduce the copper tint. The amount of gold deposited by that plating process was probably only a few atoms thick.
Although sand-blasting 900 fine gold coins changes the color slightly, it does have one benefit - doing so will greatly reduce the chances of any "copper spots" forming in the future. Around 2012 or so (I forget the exact year) I started to routinely sandblast ALL gold before striking it. The gold pieces I issued prior to that point have a higher tendency for copper spotting.
Note that I do not have any need to plate any 999 gold items, so those are always un-plated 999 gold.
****Thanks Dan, you answered a mystery for me. I couldn’t figure out why some of the gold coins I bought directly from the USMINT came with darker spots on them , I thought it must have been someone’s greasy fingers got on them ….. because I knew gold doesn’t tarnish ‼️The 2016 Gold Standing Liberty quarter commemorative were really bad about the “bad color” spots on them…. I sent some back because of that.‼️
Now I know it was probably the bad prep and copper coming thru‼️
Your pieces are almost always perfect….. I think some of the graders at the grading companies are “ jealous “ that it’s not their own personal piece, when one of your pieces come back as a MS69 instead of a 70 ‼️
I usually get more MS70s than 69s when I order from you‼️‼️👍🎯👍👍‼️‼️⁉️
That ratio isn’t as good at the USMINT……. Had 10 new Liberty medals….. only got two 70’s out of them‼️😱
Here is an 1849 Liberty eagle over-struck by DC, with the help of @Zoins and @Lakesammman, using a die for the 1950 Seattle Coin Club medal for the obverse (provided by @Zoins) married to a 1946 Oregon Numismatic Society die (provided by @Lakesammman) as the reverse. Only a small number of these were struck in gold. The host coin is readily visible after striking and the original reeded edge stands out quite dramatically since these were struck out of collar due to the fact that the dies used were of different diameters and both were larger in diameter than the host coin. There were three die pairings used in total and I have examples of each. Some were even struck on Indian eagles.

I really like this one!

There are some of Dan's issues that I really like a pristine, no-host-coin ghosting appearance, and others, where I actually prefer to see the host coin ghosting. This one is an example of the latter.
.
I recently reviewed the four 2019-D Apollo astronaut prototype dollars o/s on Ikes that I have on hand. Of the two o/s on a 40% silver Ike, one was o/s on a 71-S to 74-S Ike and the other on a 76-S Ike. And, of the two o/s on a Cu-Ni Ike, one was o/s on a 72 Ike (can't tell reverse type or MM) and the other on a 76 Ike (also can't tell type or MM). ...I appreciate being able to tell the difference in this case.
.
What about the rest of you here - do you prefer host coin ghosting or pristine o/s? Or, like me, are there instances where host coin ghosting is preferred, and other instances where a pristine o/s is preferred?

@SPalladino
I like the ghosting on my 1848CAL and 1908-O DE's because then you know the year of the host coin. I like the ghosting on the 2022 HR Saint to show it is a Maple Leaf as a host.
On many of the Peace Dollars I am not able to see the host coin. My collection is pretty limited so look forward to more things to come. Maybe using $5's and $10's......

I saw an overstruck $10 Indian on ebay and thought to myself, "man that would be cool if it was struck on an 1849"
I really like the Ghosting of the Date 1849 on this piece to correspond to the date on the die, but in the case of the indian / later date I'm less of a fan.
I cannot recall seeing an overstrike on an incuse design host coin.

I own one and will look to see if I have the Indian eagle imaged, but it is not an incuse coin. Only the half-eagle and quarter-eagle from Pratt are incuse.
@LukeMarshall said:
And actually now that Im looking at them side by side, they are in fact not the same die pair.
@TomB , is this one of the dies pairing you spoke of from above?
That is correct, what I shared and what is in the ebay auction are two different die marriages. I own the coin I shared and also own an Indian eagle overstruck with the same die pair as is offered in the current ebay auction. The last die pair produced used the Oregon Exchange Company text on the obverse paired with the small beaver (1946 Oregon Numismatic Society die) on the reverse of an 1849 Liberty eagle. I have one of those, as well, and will see if I already have images of that, too.
Today's product availability prompted me to look at the ASE o/s production blog documentation. I saw this:

Nice Nick, you have a wide array of fantasies available.
I learned a long time ago; I cannot buy everything Carr issues as I have had to keep powder dry.
Sometimes that costs me more later when I faceplant, realizing I should have acted by buying direct. I passed on 2009S Wheatie, then poof, gone. Regrets. I got one now. How cool is that ?
One of these days I may thin the MM heard but in meantime I just stack goodies from my favorite coinage art artist.
I skipped all of today's current Moon Light Mint offers as Moraned and couple unrelated hobbies absolutely tapped me out till next year.
I was sad to see Ed offer up his treasures, having bought a couple dozen MM years ago from him, I am certain these stashed goodies meant the world to him, but I am glad I won all four items I absolutely had to own.
I know brother (LindyS), I hate passing on any Daniel Carr’s , but sometimes there aren’t any resources, and the possibility to pick’em later exist.
You can bet if I have the money I’ll buy ‼️‼️
And I hope I never have to sell any of my favorite….. sad to hear that anyone had to sell their favorite pieces ‼️😱😱😱
I did as well. I love that it is o/s on an Ike. ...I'm an Ike collector, but really would rather see modern issues sans dead Presidents, and instead, using classic designs. Now, this is a dollar (conceptually awesome)!

Here's a similar 2 ounce I won recently for less than their issue price from a different minter. So many dies, what to do ? Thought provoking. Easily one of my favorite archive additions in all of 2022. 5 dies struck and laser etched for a 2x spot. I dig their creativity in spite of one of 500 issue, it's a keeper. I owned nothing like it.
Zoom in and check out the inscriptions on the blades. Each descending strike was also available as individual rounds.

Am I wrong to say this, or does everyone think like me⁉️
I always want everything Dan mints……. but my resources don’t always allow me to……… therefore I have to pick and choose , and let some go by me‼️
And one defining factor in that decision is what is the mintage going to be…. and I have to say,” So Far” scares me ‼️
And Dan does put the limited mintages down nearly all the time, that I’ve seen………… but “So Far” scares me so far, sometimes I don’t buy them‼️‼️

I buy what I like, regardless of the mintage. If an offering doesn't fit what I like, I pass (regardless of the mintage). Collecting DC items is a hobby for me. I did learn this past weekend (at GC) that popularity plays a roll when selling. I sold off some items that had 50-100 mintage and a couple didn't even get to original offer price plus grading.
LindyS, you did good on that one‼️‼️👍
I lucked out on this one,( 2 days before Dans new ones came out ), this is one of his earlier club medals, with only 5 minted ‼️🎯‼️And it is the only MS68 out of all that Dan minted (silver,brass, copper) ‼️ I asked that dude if he had a copper Die pair 3,( only 2 minted), I ain’t that lucky ‼️‼️I love those low mintage pieces from Dan‼️

I’m the same way Nick. I want to buy everything that Dan produces and although I spend more than I probably should, after a few months that anxiety subsides and it’s just another awesome addition to my collection of his work.
It does not hurt that his pieces hold their value well.
I’m hoping we will maybe get another gold token this year and I’m really hoping for a 2022 Peace Dollar seeing as how the mint couldn’t get their act together.
I swar Dan posted months ago that if the usmint didn't, he was going to. It could have been wishful thinking on my part, but until someone corrects me, I'm going with it.
I just saw his post stating exactly this a few days ago, when I was searching some old posts. Back on the low to mid 180s pages somewhere.
So let it be written, so let it be done.

That is correct, what I shared and what is in the ebay auction are two different die marriages. I own the coin I shared and also own an Indian eagle overstruck with the same die pair as is offered in the current ebay auction. The last die pair produced used the Oregon Exchange Company text on the obverse paired with the small beaver (1946 Oregon Numismatic Society die) on the reverse of an 1849 Liberty eagle. I have one of those, as well, and will see if I already have images of that, too.

They are there bro, I had to take a screenshot from the items for sale today…… and then I could reference with the “ minted items “ catalog.
(I want some of everything , but have money for none….. maybe I can sell some stuff…. I reduced some of my prices)‼️
I'm MORE broke now.

That is definitely not my work.

I’m emailing him on eBay with screenshots of your response,Dan‼️………………. Contacted him and he’s removed it👍
Nice Nick, you have a wide array of fantasies available.
I learned a long time ago; I cannot buy everything Carr issues as I have had to keep powder dry.
Sometimes that costs me more later when I faceplant, realizing I should have acted by buying direct. I passed on 2009S Wheatie, then poof, gone. Regrets. I got one now. How cool is that ?
One of these days I may thin the MM heard but in meantime I just stack goodies from my favorite coinage art artist.
I skipped all of today's current Moon Light Mint offers as Moraned and couple unrelated hobbies absolutely tapped me out till next year.
I was sad to see Ed offer up his treasures, having bought a couple dozen MM years ago from him, I am certain these stashed goodies meant the world to him, but I am glad I won all four items I absolutely had to own.

I know brother (LindyS), I hate passing on any Daniel Carr’s , but sometimes there aren’t any resources, and the possibility to pick’em later exist.
You can bet if I have the money I’ll buy ‼️‼️
And I hope I never have to sell any of my favorite….. sad to hear that anyone had to sell their favorite pieces ‼️😱😱😱
I did as well. I love that it is o/s on an Ike. ...I'm an Ike collector, but really would rather see modern issues sans dead Presidents, and instead, using classic designs. Now, this is a dollar (conceptually awesome)!

I liked this one too @SPalladino
I went with both Clad and 40%. Also had to keep the Walking Liberty halves going with that new one.

Here's a similar 2 ounce I won recently for less than their issue price from a different minter. So many dies, what to do ? Thought provoking. Easily one of my favorite archive additions in all of 2022. 5 dies struck and laser etched for a 2x spot. I dig their creativity in spite of one of 500 issue, it's a keeper. I owned nothing like it.

Here is the coolest part of that piece . . . . .
Zoom in and check out the inscriptions on the blades. Each descending strike was also available as individual rounds.

Am I wrong to say this, or does everyone think like me⁉️
I always want everything Dan mints……. but my resources don’t always allow me to……… therefore I have to pick and choose , and let some go by me‼️
And one defining factor in that decision is what is the mintage going to be…. and I have to say,” So Far” scares me ‼️
And Dan does put the limited mintages down nearly all the time, that I’ve seen………… but “So Far” scares me so far, sometimes I don’t buy them‼️‼️
Is it still easy to get everything by buying a few extra to resell?
I buy what I like, regardless of the mintage. If an offering doesn't fit what I like, I pass (regardless of the mintage). Collecting DC items is a hobby for me. I did learn this past weekend (at GC) that popularity plays a roll when selling. I sold off some items that had 50-100 mintage and a couple didn't even get to original offer price plus grading.

I passed on the Covid issues until this one crossed my path:

We're closing in on 10,000 comments.....
LindyS, you did good on that one‼️‼️👍
I lucked out on this one,( 2 days before Dans new ones came out ), this is one of his earlier club medals, with only 5 minted ‼️🎯‼️And it is the only MS68 out of all that Dan minted (silver,brass, copper) ‼️ I asked that dude if he had a copper Die pair 3,( only 2 minted), I ain’t that lucky ‼️‼️I love those low mintage pieces from Dan‼️

Amazing piece! I was hoping someone here got it!
Here are the photos of your piece!
Amazing and coingrats! I just love that design!
I need to go find one now!
Love that double struck Covid‼️‼️‼️‼️👀🎯👍👍
That’s one that would never be sold again if it was mine‼️‼️‼️‼️
Great find on that one👍👍
I just saw his post stating exactly this a few days ago, when I was searching some old posts. Back on the low to mid 180s pages somewhere.
So let it be written, so let it be done.
