    what I was thinking seeing how there are only 13 1933 know to exist how cool would that be if only 13 1934 exist ! but I know Dan has to make his money to stay in business

    The 1934's will be much more popular because they have the same design as the original coin, whereas the 1933 says, "NOT LEGAL TENDER". Big difference for overstrike collectors.

    I was talking about the original 1933 US mint So I dont know what your referring to ?

    I like the idea of expanded collar details, struck on a genuine $20 & the dished reverse design with TWENTY DOLLARS.

    I love the overstrikes and look forward to the 1934, but I started thinking how cool it would be to have 13 of the 1933 gold-colored brass stacked up on my desk - even tho' they say "not legal tender" on the reverse. The quality speaks for itself.

    I got to see one last weekend in Boise. It has the color of an American Gold Eagle or Krugerrand, so it looked very brassy. I guess they needed to be wire brushed to remove any toning from the original coin. Still very nice looking, but the broad striking caused the outside to bulge, so it doesn't have a sharp rim. Still very nice.

    DC told me for another $20 overstrike that the burnishing process makes them look brassy.

    I'm currently experimenting with other preparation methods to make the results look a little more yellow and a little less pinkish. The ones in Idaho are the more "pinkish" kind (I sold two of those at the recent Denver coin show to someone from Idaho).

    When the U.S. Mint started minting gold coins, they couldn't figure out how the old-timers could make a coin that was 90% gold look like pure gold, when they couldn't get one that was 22kt look that way. They found out later, but couldn't change the process because then the coins would not be consistent from when they started in 1986. It isn't a difficult thing to do if they had asked a few chemists.

    I just purchased another piece from his arsenal of offers. The thing is thatcha gotta be fast. I’m glad I was fast enough. :)
