As big a fan of Dans work as the next guy, I can't see paying those prices for copper or steel. I did pick up this years silver Ameros. I tend to only buy his silver or gold issues.
I don't think $45 is outrageous in the least personally. Actually, it's a spot on good deal price. PM content is such a negligible factor with his pieces. Escpecially with the fantasy date overstrike series.
Yeah, I guess. But I see a copper/steel cent and maybe it's a mental thing.
I've been wrong before and it will probably hold its value. Evertime I order something on his site I end up going back and buying something else costing me another $10 in shipping. So im just going to shut my phone off for the night and look again in the am.

I don't think it's outrageous either, but I think @BruceS had a point about Carr's copper pieces not being as popular.
For example, take a look at his 1910-D Indian Head.
The proof-like was issued for $80 (both regular and color-toned). One can find both on ebay right now for under issue price.
I jumped in deep again with some of everything. It will be another big ANACS sub soon. It's the quality of the strike and finish plus the originality of the work that I like. The Hard Times Trillion Dollar Debt piece is this weeks favorite. Can't recall last time I pulled out the MS/PR US typeset. Weird how taste change.

Any chance you'll make some 2009 S VDB using 1907 Lincoln bust in Unc or Proof Dan ?

Quite a bit of difference with the obverses, I like that 1907.
For the "1942-P", "2009-s", and "2109-s" obverses I used the hub style that would be found on a 1943 coin. This is the same style of Lincoln portrait used on the 1920-1968 coins.
Contrary to popular belief, the steel used for the 1943 cents is not really any harder than the bronze. In fact, the obverses of many steel cents have excellent strikes and details. That is why I used an UNC 1943 for a model.
At some point I think I will do something with a 1916-1919 portrait (which are the ones with the best beard detail).

I'm in the same camp with you in regards to copper. I don't collect much copper period. Not my jam.

For those not into copper, would you be interested in a silver one ounce with the 1907 Lincoln VDB and words around it saying it was made with the original plaque? This could be similar to the centennial rounds for the buffalo nickel, Mercury dime, SLQ and WLH. This way, it would be silver and could fit in with an existing set. Just an idea for Dan that I thought would be neat.
I just want crazy low mintage numbers for issues. Lincoln cent @ $45 without strike restriction, who knows where that ends.
I'd rather pay more for a TRUELY limited issue coin, rather than a coin that hangs out there for months. State the mintage. Stick to it. A $45 dollar Lincoln with multiple choice, doesn't cut it.
Would rather see a single proof copper with a bagger. Multiple choice?

Just saw the new cent overstrikes on Dan's website.
Really really wish that there was not VDB on the obverse of the 1907 cent at the base of Lincoln at his shoulder... Lincoln Cents didn't have VDB on the obverse until 1918 so it just seems wrong to me. But I'll still probably get one

First one of these I have seen ~ 1964-D Morgan double struck clashed and cancelled die pair#1...
From the information on Dan's website it look like 9 were struck with 2 of them having matte finish. This must be one that was picked up at the ANA in Denver, but not by me.

The various satin textured versions of the Indian Head were between $40-$75 and these also can be had for those prices when they show up on ebay.
I'm not a huge Lincoln fan but I do like the 1907 and bought a few pieces.
I thought that I read that the pieces that existed on the D Carr website before the ANA, would no longer be available afterwards?

nehhhh.
This is true for the "1917" Peace items.
Minting has ended for many of the other pre-ANA products, although some remainders are still available.
Perhaps similar to the "1945" Roosevelt which had a slightly higher ($50) issue price:
moonlightmint.com/blog_13.htm
That idea would really make me a buyer.It would fit right in with the centennial theme.
I also like Zoins idea about the one ounce silver issue in the 1907 Lincoln VDB style ~ perhaps even add a 'low mintage' antiqued finish version.
I would buy it in silver, probably a few of them. Good idea.

Does out of stock equate with sold out or no more production?
Did someone say the CG (2015?) DE gold from the ANA "hoard" is available again?
Also, are the cents RD?
Which gold?
Yes, the same 2011 CG DE Dan offered recently is now being offered on the bay. Looks to be in great condition!
Oh. I was mistaking DE as Dave Emslie not Double Eagle. That's where my confusion laid.
I've got the double eagle on ebay. I don't mind owning it for awhile, but thought I would offer it up in case someone else wanted it more, lol.
You're not mistaken. While DE can mean Double Eagle, the 2011 CG Double Eagle is also a Carr Emslie piece
Are the cents going to be RD?

Hey Chris, why do I suspect that you have one of each ( or multiples thereof ) ?
I got that one at Denver. Wish I had multiples lol.
he drove out, if I recall correctly, to Baltimore once. it was maybe 10 years ago.
this was back when the parody quarters were being sold.
