    I've got a couple 5oz ATBs that I would like to submit to you Daniel for these canceled Morgan die strikes you're considering.

    I really like your MMOH 2016 canceled $5 die overstrikes I've picked up.

    Why are the DC 1964 Morgan $ history ?

    I feel like I made enough of them and I'm a little bored with it now.
    I would have made more proof-likes, but due to the striking parameters, the "cameo" effect would wear off the dies rather quickly when striking. I also wasn't entirely satisfied with how the matte version looks, so those were even more limited.

    However, there might be a "last hurrah": "X"-cancelled die strikes.
    I did some years ago when I produced the "1964-D" Peace over-strikes (but I never released any of those).
    If I do any X-cancelled Morgans, I will make enough over-strikes to offer them as a product this time.

    we are idea-ing and requesting him to death.

    we know these are just on a wish list.

    although, he does want to do a type set of overstrikes, and speaking of ATBs, I ask the crowd what they would envision overstruck on an ATB.

    i'm still thinking.

    I've always wondered if his press could do a full overstrike of a 5oz atb. Not just broad struck with smaller dies. I believe the US MINT had to get new presses from Germany to do the series right.

    I understand the 64 peace ,65 peace and why you chose those dates ! but how about making a 1966 and going on up 1967 1968 and so on

  • 7Jaguars7Jaguars Posts: 7,444 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Yikes!
    Much as I love the 1964 matte peace and the new 1917 peace, I'd request a break from these other dates. Too many other worthy projects plus it becomes a bit boring.

    As of last year, I was planning to eventually make "1931" high-relief Peace Dollars. But that was before I discovered the "Broken Sword" casting. Now that I have done a "1917" High Relief Peace, I'm not planning a "1931". Future plans for over-strike Morgan/Peace dollars include some things in 2021 related to the 100th anniversary of the last Morgan and the first Peace dollars. Maybe a "1920" Morgan using the 1921 hub style, and perhaps a "1920" Broken Sword Peace. Beyond that, I have no plans for any other Morgan/Peace items (unless some other unforeseen and significant artifact turns up).

    For an upcoming Broken Sword Peace Dollar, please consider a Roman numeral date like de Francisci's original plaster.

    Some other coins that could be of interest:

    • Arrows and Rays dollar
    • Fugio cent

    You mentioned the Arrows & Rays dollar earlier and I recall even TDN said it would be neat. I've been waiting for this one ever since.

    As to what 5oz I'd like overstruck with canceled 1964 Morgan dies I'm thinking 2016 Roosevelt or 2017 Effigy Mounds. I'd choose 2017 representing the year the 1964 was issued.
    Then again, the 2014 Sand Dunes Colorado issue works with Moonlight Mint located in Colorado theme and 2014 minus 1964 date equals 50.

    I think I'll move 2014 Colorado ATB to the top of my wish list.

    the question isn't about overstriking an ATB with a cancelled 64-d die.

    it's about a new design to overstrike on a mint issued ATB

    Great looking stuff! I saw your work in Coin Heist. My kids actually sat and watched the entire movie, and while they are not into coins, they said yours were awesome. Are Any still available? The fish one...
    I digress,
    Here is my new purchase! I hope it's ok to post a screenshot of this. Let me know if it's not. I got these last night.

    Curse me yet again and again

    I knew that but forgot.

    Anyway, expansion anyone?

    It's still an interesting academic discussion as I was going to throw in which release would make a good candidate, can DMPL ones be made and how costly, and could a blasted version be made, too?

    I think the blasted version would likely require the same process. It'd be interesting to see if the host coin would be wholly hidden by the dual process. Perhaps these might be more readily produced than a DMPL and would be the first of the two made..,
    Of course this is just discussion.

    For me, the original question is an interesting one. These are a rotating design coin. Conceptually, a new year but same design would be the way to go eg 1999 CO Sand Dunes ATB or 1998 just to be safe. However, I'm of the opinion that a simple re-date, despite that's what is done already on other issues, would be missing an opportunity. While changing the Morgan design wouldn't place it as a Morgan overstrike in a type set, the varied designs on the State and ATB coins has the opportunity for a new reverse design for both.

    So I guess a new State quarter design is another question.

    My parody Q is CT - NY's back yard + kid on tree swing + soccer mom planting flowers underneath.

    But as an opportunity as a type set and an alternate state quarter, the state ones have a wider latitude than even the ATB. I would like to see a redo for HI. I would seek inspiration for what traditional native life was like.

    I did strike over some of the large Perry's Victory "pucks". But the over-strike die was 39mm, which is quite a bit smaller than the puck. Here is one (not my auction, I don't know the seller):

    I did not offer any of the Coin Heist coins for sale. That may yet happen, but it is not a high priority right now.
    They paid me to make the dies and the coins, but we had no agreements on selling them. The coins used in the movie are still in storage, apparently. I have some extras (not to sell). I gave a couple away to a friend (for reasons I won't go into here).

    A must-have for my half dollar collection. And the one-year-only (1853) Arrows & Rays is my favorite Seated design.

    I'm in for two of all versions!

    I think the previous discussion was to overstrike a non-A&R dollar. This would be like the 1917 broken sword Peace dollar where the underlying coin isn't a broken sword reverse.

    Agreed! And I'd love to see a Proof version.

    But for a fantasy overstrike, the host Seated dollar is pricey. I'd still go for 1 or 2 each of all versions.

    I think the arrows and rays would be less different than the broken sword because the broken sword is a change to an existing device where as arrows and rays would be additions. Either way, it would be good to hear from Dan. There was definitely some excitement when the arrows and rays dollar was discussed here in the past with Dan, TDN and others. It would be fun to see. I agree with @COCollector that a proof would be nice.

    Once a coin is over struck doesn't it loose it's coin status and become a fantasy "coin" but more accurately a medal? Art pieces really.
    Three base materials are used to convey his art: an actual coin, a blank planchet of various metals and diameters and bars of several sizes and styles. The common denominator is the striking of an impression of his own manufacture and design.

    He usually has an admonition in the description NOT to use his work as currency. Below is posted in the "1964-D" Morgan Silver fantasy issue

    _NOTE: Defacing of US coins is legal so long as the defacement isn't for fraudulent purposes.

    By purchasing one or more of these, the buyer agrees to provide full disclosure of their origin when reselling them. Failure to provide potential buyers with complete and accurate information when offering these could result in criminal and/or civil fraud charges. In other words, don't try to sell to unaware buyers as original coins of this date.

    Since these are over-struck on existing coins, there may be faint evidence of the original coin design showing since the over-strike is usually not perfectly aligned with the original strike.

    I'd be interested to hear the dcarr take on it. I've seen some with significant ghosting and some where it is impossible to see any remnants.

    I'd also be interested to hear if he anneals them to death, too.

    He usually has an admonition in the description NOT to use his work as currency. Below is posted in the "1964-D" Morgan Silver fantasy issue

    _NOTE: Defacing of US coins is legal so long as the defacement isn't for fraudulent purposes.

    By purchasing one or more of these, the buyer agrees to provide full disclosure of their origin when reselling them. Failure to provide potential buyers with complete and accurate information when offering these could result in criminal and/or civil fraud charges. In other words, don't try to sell to unaware buyers as original coins of this date.

    Since these are over-struck on existing coins, there may be faint evidence of the original coin design showing since the over-strike is usually not perfectly aligned with the original strike.

    Do not attempt to use these as legal tender. This product is NOT endorsed or approved by the US Mint, US Treasury, or US Government._

    true. still, will-way. it may take more work, higher prices, but it might be doable. 1792 dollar with silver plug and adjustment marks anyone? These won't be coming from any 1794 dollar overstrike. Perhaps it will simply take moving all the metal a lot back and forth on a much more recently dated silver dollar.

    (I'd kill for one)

    and another thing I can guess he has dismissed: overstriking blanks. less work.
    but the mint might not call them "once money."

    If everyone would send these coins into pcgs as the same time it may force their hand and lead to these finally getting slabbed.

    right.

    Or perhaps in the case of the non-overstruck Coin Club issues ~ medals.
