And here I thought you were taking some well needed rest on some remote Pacific island.
While reading through your post not knowing where it was leading, I was thinking, no matter what the issue is, Dan's gonna figure it out. When i visited years ago I was impressed at your troubleshooting skills, that remains. Great work.
Now, when will this press be 'hammering-out' some 2025 Clark Gruber $500s?
At $3000 gold you think we’ll get arbitrary $750 denominations on the 1/4oz gold half eagles?
I like the backstory @dcarr, I guess being a mint master and being mechanically inclined go hand in hand… great write up and terminology sir.
This is posted on his website about the new 1964 dollar:
"All previous “1964” over-strikes produced from 2010 to 2020 had a “D” (Denver) mint mark and standard low relief or medium relief. The 2025 issue has full high relief on both sides and no mint mark.
The US Treasury has categorically stated that all the original 1964-D Peace Dollars were accounted for and destroyed in 1965. But in the 1970s the Treasury Department indicated that two more 1964 Peace Dollars were destroyed at the Philadelphia Mint or at US Mint Headquarters in Washington DC.
This has led some people to question whether or not the Mint really did manage to destroy all the 1964-D Peace Dollars that were produced in Denver in 1965. And if two survived until the 1970s, then perhaps others have survived to this day ?
What this viewpoint fails to consider is that the Philadelphia mint likely produced some test strikes circa 1964-1965. The two coins destroyed in the 1970s were likely Philadelphia Mint production, not Denver Mint output. As such, they may have been produced with no mint mark (as were all Philadelphia coins of that era).
What if the Philadelphia Mint used the original 1921 Peace Dollar models from their archives in producing the Philadelphia 1964 Peace Dollars ? The “Die Pair 10” issue replicates this scenario, including the inclusion of the original “Broken Sword” and full relief from both the obverse and reverse models. A matte proof version also replicates the original high-relief matte proofs of 1921-1922.
Ordered both Peace dollars (Die Pair 10) & the CG $500.
I knew the CG was gonna be expensive with the run up on gold, yeesh, $1,100! The first one in 2013 was $450 w/ gold at $1,400. After doing smoe maths the ratio ends up about the same.
How long are Dan's new offerings available before being discontinued? Wondering if it's based on time, quantity, or both. I'm hoping to grab a few items, just a bit tied up at the moment.

Most of the current (new) products just came out and will likely be available for a few months (that is about the average time span). The mintages will be determined by how many are ordered. The one exception is the 1950-D Nickel 75th anniversary. It has a fixed mintage of 75 and it will be available until it sells out. About 1/3rd of them have been sold so far. So it might be available for a couple more months, but that is hard to predict.
Yesterday, I had a pre-auction bid on this Holabird auction lot. I've been looking for a 2016 So-Called Gathering slug facsimile (lower right of the photo) for a few years now. They just don't come up. Long story shorter, I received an important call when the lot went live, and ended up losing by $50. Oh well. Maybe someone here won the lot (I hope so). If so, congratulations. Someday, I'll manage to get one.

They do not come up often due to low mintage. The only one I have is the bimetallic copper/brass with a mintage of 25.

I grabbed a 1964 matte proof Peace and a small brass Ike I shoulda got last time. Just don't have the funds this time around.
Here are a few cents that will get some new friends.
The fancy work on the 1950d Jefferson nickel 75th anniversary caught my eye and my wallet. Very nice work and limited mintage.
Love the silver high relief St Gaudens!
I'll never forget the day I got this one and opened it, I about passed out.

Stumbled onto his site Friday and bought the two Peace Dollars. They look great, as usual.

Is this the reverse of all of the 1792’s on MM website? Currently only has the obverse images.

I agree. Low mintages, and residing in closely held collections. Cheers to you!

The above Chain Reverse was done a few years ago.

This is the Reverse being used currently......
