    I think Danny ought to do the antiqued versions of the octagonal on a regular, maybe not the Indian type though.

    Love that Milled British (1830-1960)
    Well, just Love coins, period.

    I was very lucky to be able to acquire these pieces. The Owl speaks for itself and the 2018 WW1 Commemorative Dollar O/S on a Peace Dollar is pretty cool, has a new Eagle I've never seen on any of Dan's pieces. Maybe if Dan has time he could tell us about this piece. I'm not sure about all the facts but I think he entered it in a U.S. Mint contest for next year's design.

    I am now broke, will work for DC medals.

    The ww1 commem sure is nice ain't it. Just look at it. It would have made a great US mint issue. The winning design better be nothing short of spectacular.

    The more you VAM..

    I bet it doesn't come close to Dan's version.

    2018 WW1 Commemorative Dollar, I usually don't comment on his concepts, but that's not a very realistic image of a soldier throwing a hand grenade.

    I thought the arm is in an awkward position
    the bioncs are backwards
    the root of the eagle's wings are in a bad perspective with relation to the lay of the feathers and at that location
    the eagle needs beefier wings
    the legs attach too high

    otoh, the mint will take a design and make alterations and DC knows that. It won't necessarily eliminate the design.

    I do worry about the plain text on the reverse might.

    a. Nice representation of a US Springfield Rifle, Model 1903, Cal. 30-06.
    b. Looks like an 88th Division Patch on his left shoulder.
    c. I still want one (or more).

    does it still have full lustre, or was the site harshly cleaned?

    I like the Dan Carr shirt, you should sell those on your website. By the way when will that be up and running again, I hate to say it but it's very reminiscent of NGC's website rollout.

  • jwittenjwitten Posts: 5,131 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I would love to buy some more of the eclipse medals, since there is no limit now. Any chance it will be running again with enough time to ship before the eclipse?

    JW, the 1861 looks MS70 to me, and it's in vinyl. Good purchase.

    Congrats on the 1861 CG double eagle! It looks great.

    When I posted it here, I was hoping someone here would pick it up. You have to be fast on Dan's site.

    I think there's one small hit under the chin... maybe 69??

  • VoyageurVoyageur Posts: 351 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Any update on when the on-line store will have the construction completed ? It will be interesting to see what new items Daniel will make appear after the Denver ANA ! B)

    A bunch already appeared, and then quickly disappeared! I'm hoping to pick up a few more eclipse medals, as when I bought them it was limit one each, and that was by mistake he said.

    My "Merlin" bars came in last week also and they are very nicely done. Wonder how they would look in a 5 oz. size ? B)

    Clue #1: The guy drives a red Mustang !!!

    He was somehow lucky enough to acquire one from Dan and then proudly showed it off on the forum only to flip it less than a week later :wink:

    That was a second try .. first time auction at $500 start didn't get any bites, so it was re-listed with a $700 teaser price :wink:

    Ohhhh joy !!!!

  • VoyageurVoyageur Posts: 351 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I suspect there will probably be a number of Dan's items from the Denver ANA up for sale / resale. Hopefully, he will have his website back in operation shortly with some "leftovers". B)

    The 1861 CG Double Eagle is available too.

    Think of it as a Second Chance offer in case you missed it the first time.

    As a collector, I've never flipped anything myself but I've purchased a few pieces from flippers. They cost more but sometimes you just want it and miss it the first time around.

    Sometimes you may only have one opportunity, like this 2006-2007 Colorado Ski Country Gold Pass Token ~ brass, 63mm, swirl finish, with fob, translucent enamel logo, uniface without serial number. Listed under Special Event Tokens on Dan's website. Obtained from a very kind gentleman who was able to stop by his table at the Denver ANA. Can't say as I have ever seen anything quite like it....

    Is there anything on the ANACS holder that differentiates this silver eclipse medal from the ones without the hologram? Seems like the holder should mention the hologram, since it is the rarer version.
