The portrait is not of any particular person or tribe.
One of the reasons I started collection Carr was because of the simplicity of it. It was romantic. No grading just appreciation for the coin/ medal. I wish grading services would have slabbed them without grade as PCGS does with some restrikes
I certainly wouldn’t pay more for a higher graded Carr coin as struck

Walker Proof Digital Album Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
The only reason I have mine graded is for protection. I see lots of bad looking pieces still in flips, probably poor storage habits. I have MS68-70 on all my pieces, two of the 68s look 70 to me. So I'm happy with them in plastic without spots or scratches. My favorite Carr piece is a 68.

Still available and congrats on your grades back sounds like everybody did well. I will eventually send mine in but right now to busy working and buying.

I wonder what the next creation will be from Dan?
I would really like to see the $2 1/2 Gold Indian as jwitten has suggested.
Then a $5 & $10,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I asked Dan a while back if he could. The fact that there’s no rim makes it a diffult overstrike but he said he’ll keep trying. I suggested a 1907 &2 1/2.
I am with Mark above; I really don't care the grade if the coin is "as struck". I like them - his coins, etc. within reason (although I may have lost it with the Confederate gold bit!).
Love that Milled British (1830-1960) Well, just Love coins, period.
OK, I realize that nobody is going to hire me to photograph their coins but here they are.
All are normal color. I could use some lighting tips if anyone wants to PM me with some.
Daniel Carr does beautiful work! I have a few of his designs. I learned an interesting characteristic of the overstruck St.Gaudens gold coins while examining @GRANDAM's coins that make them special above their beauty and limited mintage.
I cannot express my surprise as I examined the coin and thought to myself that Mr. Carr had "nailed" his duplication of a genuine edge including the style, die polish, and segmented collar! His edge was better than I'd ever seen on a struck counterfeit! A call to Mr. Carr proved to be informative. His issue using a genuine $20 are struck out of collar so the edge of the overstruck coin is as the original.

Yes, he said this on his site too. I think he said they are actually slightly larger in diameter than the originals because of this.
You know I can't stop looking at these coins. They are Beautiful and accurately graded.
The MS70's are flawless and I see just a small hit in one spot or another on the MS69 Coins.

As I understand it ANACS still doesn't give the MS70 grade to the re-strike coins,,,,, only medals.
I am sorry but I sent 6 coins to ANACS once and when I saw those holders I immediately broke the coins out.
Do not like that holder.
I personally like the geometry of the current slanted-top ANACS holders better than all the other grading service holders.
I've come to really dislike the stacking tabs on PCGS holders because they make it a pain to put slab-protector sleeves over them. The NGC holders are too tall for most of the slab boxes. The ICG holders have the strange narrowing near the label. And all of them are thicker than the ANACS holders which means that the ANACS holders take up less space. I like the ANACS Moonlight Mint and Clark Gruber labels, of course. I don't really like the standard yellow labels, though.

I am very pleased with these grades and the fast turnaround time.
The portrait is not of any particular person or tribe.
Is that the overstruck gold, or a different one? Have any pictures?
Yes it is the overstruck $20 Double Eagle.
No photos, they just mailed them today.
I did post a photo back in the thread where we were tracking sales to Forum members but is was raw.
I wonder why they called the other ones O/S but not the gold?
Well, I had copy & pasted these grades from my e-mail but it didn't format right in my post so I had to rearrange everything to make it look right.
In checking the only ones they actually listed as overstruck were the 3 Indian Head Cents.
I will see what the label actually says in a few days.
I made a mistake in my editing but all the grades are correct.
Ahh, I was thinking Chief Minter depicted...
Well, just Love coins, period.
I may have to send off my Brass & Silver Double Eagle D. Carr pieces to ICG, I like the design and durability of their holder.

their still available ?

Did you actually try putting one in the shopping cart?
When I do it says none available.
ok your right

It's not "AT" if the mint issues it that way

Got this silver piece to join the copper pieces I had. On my next submission to ANACS I'll get them to reholder it and put the obverse facing out.

They all look great!

I know I Love mine ! And like everybody knows only 57 people can own one ! except one lucky guy who owns two !
Yes, he said this on his site too. I think he said they are actually slightly larger in diameter than the originals because of this.
The broad-striking increases the diameter from the original 34mm to about 35mm.
Could some one please send me a photo of the edge lettering?
I want to keep it with my coin. 2x2 would be the perfect size.’
Thanks,,,,,
Wanting to see the edge is why I chose to holder like this:
Actually there are (2) people who own (2) ea of these $20 Gold Double Eagles.
You know I can't stop looking at these coins. They are Beautiful and accurately graded.
The MS70's are flawless and I see just a small hit in one spot or another on the MS69 Coins.
I can't blame you, they are very nice eye candy.
I showed one of the gold saints to a major gold coin dealer and he was very impressed.
Just after ICG did. They didn't want to lose business to someone that would hand out a higher grade. I am waiting for the first MS70+ to come out.
of the two people who had two the one said on your post they bought two and was going to give one to someone else thats why I didnt count
That M 70+ is one the stupidest grades I ever saw. The guys at ANACS are better than that. I should be embarrassed.
In the decades of TPGS existence, each feeds off the other's ideas. Get ready...More "PERFECT PLUS (what?)" grades are coming. LOL!
LOL, LOL Sorry it is too funny and very sad at the same time. I suggest you all support ANACS as we do not want to lose them.
Oops! Although PCGS has nothing to worry about, I hope this unsolicited advertisement does not get me in trouble with our host.
Think it would gold bean????
I think the "+" was "photo-shopped":
Okay Bullsitter. That does it! You're on Double Secret Probation!
I knew it would happen.
