20k invested, sounds like you have an awesome DC collection !
Up until a few weeks ago I felt I was lacking 2 or 3 DC items. Then surprisingly I picked up all 3 from three different sellers at fleabay.
That said, I still need the Colorado 1/4 oz silver 25c issues.
I have the Super Cool 3D topographical Colorado issue, but would love to add:
Maroon Bells Skier, Mesa Verde, and Pikes Peak, with COAs preferred.
Those early COAs included the total mintages of 10 or 15 printed on them.
If you have these items upcoming ? I'd love to chat.
I've only collect DC items I really like. So, other than some new issue, or seeing a very low price on something I already own, I am pretty much done with trying to win high bid on closed DC issues.
A lot of DC items I've acquired at a local coin shows, fleabay, or direct from Daniel, appreciated in value, yet I do not want to sell any of it.

Focusing on what you like is the way to go and is what I do. Trying to maintain a full set can be very challenging. I recently missed out on the 2016 bi-metallic slug but I’m enjoying my Winged Liberty pieces.

You should be looking at a really good profit on your 20K!
It wasn’t about profit, I liked the design and wanted to support Dan’s work. I just don’t know what he has produced outside of the website anymore. It seems there are more unpublished coins out there than published on his ecommerce website.
I am not saying Dan should change anything with how he makes/markets/sells his coins. I’d like to have maintained a somewhat complete collection but that’s seems impossible because I can’t even keep track of what he has made anymore.
I started the collection when he got his press and have some duplicates. Hundreds of coins, bars, and a few castings.
@jessewvu Do you have Dan's gold Tesla, Denver Mint Centennial, or American Gold Rush flying eagle? I've been looking for all 3 for some time, the first 2 for about 10 years.

So glad Dan changed his web sight got so tried of seeing this first thing
I decided to offer these directly on my own site rather than linking to the Commissioning Committee store. Proceeds still go to fund the Commissioning Commmittee activities. I did that because the Commissioning Committee had temporarily taken down their internet store while they all attended the Commissioning Ceremony, and we wanted to take advantage of a story about these coins that was run on the local Denver TV news last night:

It is true that there are some things that were never offered via the internet storefront. I have been trying to keep that to a minimum. But it can be tricky when there is only a couple of a particular item available. It was easier to bring some of these to a large show (like the ANA in Denver last summer). But it will be a number of years before that show comes back here. Note, however, that everything is documented in the on-line catalog where mintages and other details are recorded. I will probably go back to listing "one-offs" and such on eBay to give everyone an equal chance.
@dcarr said: everything is documented in the on-line catalog where mintages and other details are recorded.
It would be nice to have information on some of the finishes added including the 26 burnished 2006 Nevada alternate state quarters and the roughly 10 2003 Silver Maine Quarter Pemaquid Light & Victory Chimes Schooner. I've been taking screenshots of the eBay listings and posting them here for tracking purposes in the thread below. These listings recount discussions with you.

I've recently seen these two online both from smcvay137. I didn't see any notes on the inserts so I'm guessing these were done outside the Moonlight Mint, but it'd be good to know for sure.

Yes, not all of the post-strike finishes are individually documented (but their as-struck finishes are included in the mintage figures). The note at the top of both of these catalog pages indicates that:

Well, today I received my 7th 2017 Clark Gruber/Assay piece....lol
I guess I'm heading towards a mini hoard of these as I like them so much.
Maybe I should get 2 more and then I think I'll own 10% of the mintage

Got some new pirate booty
Do you see what I see?? I love the unintentional errors just as much as intentional ones
I like this one as well and have a few in my Dan Carr collection.
I wonder if any of them were struck over gold?
Love the cobs! Like snowflakes, no two are identical.
Chris, I believe your cob is a low-mintage & more valuable version sold directly by Moonlight Mint.
Whereas, my cob is a high-mintage antiqued version -- marketed by a promoter. It's also a different die pair:
Successful BST transactions with forum members thebigeng, SPalladino, Zoidmeister, coin22lover, coinsarefun, jwitten, CommemKing.
Love these coins just placed my next order for the 2 Fary Coins. One copper and One Silver. Now the wait.
Best place to buy !

Pit of Misery? Are you a Dread Pirate?
I would love to add your 1/4 oz Silver Colorado 25c to my collection of DC goodies.
Got a spare one Zoins ?
Unfortunately not. I was only able to pick up one at the time, but I love that piece because I love skiing in Colorado. It's a great piece.
Since that thread, I was able to pick up a silver Sacagawea concept dollar to add to my early Dan collection.
Love Dans 2003 Sacagawea Concept Dollar so much better than the US mints choice
The Panda has just landed.

I wanted one of these for sometime now :

I never worry about those - mainly get the overstrikes. Oregon Trail IMO the best of those, but the matte proof Peace Dollar up there...

I started the collection when he got his press and have some duplicates. Hundreds of coins, bars, and a few castings.
Even in the early days, I felt it was very difficult to get all of Dan's work.
For example, I've never seen a gold Tesla or Denver Mint Centennial.
More recently, I'm still on the lookout for this, which also comes in a 1 oz version.
$20k+ was just my purchase price. I haven’t looked at the current value of the coins yet.
@jessewvu Do you have Dan's gold Tesla, Denver Mint Centennial, or American Gold Rush flying eagle? I've been looking for all 3 for some time, the first 2 for about 10 years.

It is just really hard to keep looking at multiple pages for new items not listed on the ecommerce site.
