    I'm torn on the new gold. I picked up one of the overstrikes, but have not picked up an of the golds with the wing and shield. I think I prefer this one to the one on .999, but I am still undecided.

    Always a pleasant surprise waking up, and clicking on Dan's site to discover there are new offerings. Picked up a 2018 Clark Gruber St. Gaudens silver oz. Love the PL's so can't wait to see it in hand.

    Thanks Dan!

    I just got done putting a few of the wizzard bars into a yellow paper hoping it soaks into the bars and makes it turn.

    I picked this one up this DC 1906 Saint-Gaudens Winged Liberty, GOLD "DOUBLE EAGLE coin before she sold out.

    Bought two of the PL St. Gaudens Silvers to go with the other ones.

    I just noticed the gold winged Liberty overstrike on our own gold eagle.
    What happens if I don’t have one to send? Can I be charged for the coin and overstrike?
    I sure would love to get one.

    It's a good excuse to get one. My first St. Gaudens may be one I send off to be overstruck ;)

    to bad for the people who bought the 1906 Saint-Gaudens Winged Liberty, GOLD "DOUBLE EAGLE 999 the overstrike is much more desirable

  • ParadisefoundParadisefound Posts: 8,588 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I don't understand :( What is the different between them besides the stars would be left out on the host coin right?

    One has history. History of being a real coin used in circulation. Proper gold weight and purity. Proper edge, etc. One is just a generic .999 blank.

    Big Shout-Out to a fellow member for doubling the fun this summer <3
    A slightly off center broad-strucked 1934 is now being paired with an even more prominent ghosting one :)

    Okay any new DC pics?

  • Mfriday4962Mfriday4962 Posts: 153 ✭✭✭

    Not new, but can anyone tell me how many of these where made with a die crack? This piece is on eBay now but I would like to confirm this??

    Don’t know to much about these but there listed on the 3rd and 4th page of the fantasy overstrikes. Looks like a DC coin. Might be a special buy after the fact. Looks like the tail nicked off a bit. Also I see some faint doubling action. Very interesting.

    Ohhh look I have a graded one must of bought it put it away. I did not see any cracks in that one.

  • Mfriday4962Mfriday4962 Posts: 153 ✭✭✭

    Nice. It definitely a DC piece because it has the COA... a DC collector told me there was 16 with this crack... seem cool if that’s the case...

    From Dan's Production Blog:

    "Die crack on reverse started early as a thin vertical line on shield, then gradually became more severe. Final die state also has a crack from the center to the 'C' of AMERICA."

    Since the die crack "started early", I think that means most of the 260 minted (high-grade die pair 1) have a reverse die crack.

    I just looked at mine it appears to have a crack in it going to put it under the micro and post a picture. Its Titled ANACS 1916 Token MS 69

    And of course Autograhed by DC!
    Hi Dan!

    Here we go! From bottom to top on the Am Scope. 1st time I get to use it! Ohhh boy :p



  • dcarrdcarr Posts: 8,447 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I don't see the final die stage crack that goes from the center to the "C" of AMERICA. So it probably is a middle die state piece. One thing neat about it is that it has a visible "D" mint mark from the host coin.

  • Love the Double Strike Buffalo! A Triple strike Buffalo just got listed.
