I received my 2009 proof over strike today. Nowhere near US mint quality. It appears to have hairlines all around the diameter of the coin next to the rim. And what appears to be a obvious mark on the obverse's field. I hoped for more at that price point.
TeamDennis while I cannot speak for Mr. Carr. He monitors this board . He is a very accommodating person and I continued to keep coming back due to his good service. Not to mention his good quality of work. Rest a sure, I am sure he will contact you.
Also I have gotten coins from the Mint that when graded were not considered 70's but ended up 69's. One even a 68.
So with that I cannot say the Mint is all that top notched. Might be why I have not really been buying to much from the mint.

Don't forget these are are being over struck on US Mint produced non-proof 2009 Silver Eagle dollar with no mint mark

Sorry that it didn't meet your expectations. You can certainly return it for a full refund.
I suspect that the "hairlines" you see are actually radial flow lines or faint wire brush marks. The host coins are wire-brushed PRIOR to the over-striking to remove all traces of the dreaded "milk spotting". A faint pattern of these can sometimes be seen in the fields after the over-striking. And with 250 or more tons of over-striking force, enough to completely change the reverse design, there is a lot of stress near the rim which causes radial metal flow lines to be scoured into the die face. In a run of 100 pieces I re-polished the dies three times.
Striking over virgin blanks would be a lot easier and more perfect. But that is not the nature of this product.

I did mail it back today for a replacement. I can live with the "radial flow lines" if it is consistent in all of them. The light scratch just above the Y in liberty suggests a bulk handling mark although I doubt these were bulk handled. You should receive it Monday. Thanks for taking the time to explain and making it right.
My 2009 overstrikes will be arriving anytime soon ....... could not wait to see them.
I need to have one circled back to Fred; curious to hear what he thinks
I came home for lunch today and found my Moonlight Mint packaging. I got the 2009 walker design and the Fourty.
I was delighted to see ghost images under the letters on the upper reverse! I haven’t been able to get a good picture of it yet but here is the best so far. I am happy 😃
The scratches are on the flip not the coin, the ghosting 👻 is on the coin not the flip or reflection

So would you like a refund or exchange ?
What you are probably seeing on the coin is an area of flow stress on the die, not a scratch. A coin over-struck after a different round of die polishing will not have that same stress mark (but could have minor stress marks in another area).
aspie_rocco I like that little ghost! Thanks for the close up I have not thought about looking for them. That will give me something to do this weekend. I like how the coin feels when I grab it on its edge. Very interesting, cant describe it in words but its different from all the other coins. Its almost delicate/fragile to the touch. Seems like it would break even though I know it would not.
Congrats @Aspie_Rocco ...... an over strikes with some ghosting is always a treat with DC no matter how faint it might be.
Double the Pleasure for me on my bigs
Gosh .... forgot about it 'till your post (how could I forgot 10 pcs being gone)?
They received it 10/22 and the estimated completion is 12/3 ..... didn't send the gold ones.
BTW will they do varieties label for DC double over struck ones?

Okay here is the only one of the 1858 Antiqued Braided Hair, I got in this year, in 2 x 2 snaps. The scratch is in the plastic, I guess they went fast.
Time for some DC coins any more good finds out there?

...and they're officially sold out. I previously bought two of each.
http://www.moonlightmint.com/dc-coin_commem_tokens_list.htm
The half cent and large cent overstrikes are also sold out.
Lowest mintage of those seems to be the “1858” Braided Hair Half Cent (46 high grade, 6 antiqued). Glad I grabbed both types of each.
http://www.moonlightmint.com/blog_25.htm
I wonder what will be next. Will be checking hourly.......
Very Glad I purchased a silver 'Year Of The Dog'.
Surprised at the low mintage, however, that makes it all the better.
Totally agree! The photo of it is great. I'll be so psyched to have it in hand!
Thanks for all these creative issues Dan!

Just received my order for the 2009 overstrike and Silver Winged Liberty
Both are as amazingly beautiful as I had hoped!!

I might have to buy some more of these this is one beautiful coin!

I think if he put this on HSN, he could sell quite a few like the original 2009 Overstrike Eagle. Please don't however, Dan!
Well, just Love coins, period.
Lower mintages are nice but those have actually gone up in price healthily as well.
Just got home and happy to find these waiting for me .... sorry for the amateur picture
