I was surprised, and pleased, at the under type strength. Would buy a non-overstrike Stella, if offered.

Please don't use that design - we've been quite overloaded with Winged Liberty designs, both Dan's and the US Mint in the form of the palladium coins & not to mention the original dimes....

The idea isn’t to use winged liberty design but to issue a non-overstruck Stella as a Clark Gruber so overstriking isn’t necessary, similar to the Gaudens Fourty Dollar piece.
When will the 2019 KOTCT coins be struck? The 2018's were SUPERB. So envious!

If you go through the 2 posts created for 2018 it shows the exact day orders were taken. How Dan picked last years coin. Pretty much everything. Dan is a busy guy I will go out on a limb that Dan might have the 2019 ones before Christmas or slightly after.
There is one on eBay that ends in 4 days. If you watch it maybe you might win it. Here is the description. Bid starts around 42. Bucks and nobody has bid on it.

I don’t even really know what type token it is I just won it on EBay and I liked how it looked. Right now I am just kicking back watching a good family show “ Breaking Bad “

2018 medal orders were taken starting April 12th. This years orders should happen around the same time. Keep watching in early April and you will be rewarded.
HA! @Gluggo Breaking Bad is certainly good family entertainment! But I like it @Kudbegud thanks -- will be looking forward to these -- totally WOWED by the 2018 colored medals. WOOHOO!

Actually the obverse quality is not much different between "1918" and "1919".
The reverse of the "1919" over-strike is a little better than the "1918", especially in the area of the mound and the word "PEACE".

Has DC done may Confederate coins? I thought I seen 1 in his web site. I picked these up there all restrikes but how often do you even see Confederate coins/ tokens? And if you do I imagine they go for big dollars.
My only regret was not getting additional Stella’s.

My stellas were marked as shipped Monday and I still don't have them Does Dan provide a tracking number? I couldn't find one. Also, does he ship registered if it is an expensive package? That's my only guess for the slow shipping time.

I usually don't provide tracking numbers unless the package is overdue and there is an inquiry.
Shipments with a gold Stella would be sent USPS Registered.
Jwitten mine had a tracking number but I never know ithe number. Did you by chance sign up to the Informed delivery. That is how I knew mine was coming in today. When I opened up the history it showed the town and state where the package originated.
If you email him he might give You the tracking number. Any of the more expensive packages it was delivery confirmation but I think it always come Priority mail.

I've tried to sign up for that before and for some reason could never get it to work. I don't mind not knowing what day it will get here. Each day has been like Christmas, going to the PO not knowing if I was going to have a couple new stellas waiting for me!

Funny thing I ordered the Stella on 12/29 and the slab on 1/3, the slab arrived from China on 1/24.
Love the self-slab. Have you thought of making a copy so the front side takes up the full space of the insert?
I hope someone here picked up this awesome set of medals! By the time I saw it, it was Out of Stock already! I think I need one of those website monitoring services!
Comments
I wonder if most will show so much of the host coin? His example on his site didn't. I have a few coming, hopefully I can have one each way!
This is a fun and funny thread... ...really enjoy it.

The hit on the Silver Coin is a nick on the plastic where I dropped the slab.
@GRANDAM
What designation did you use in submitting these to ICG ?
Come to think of it, '2020' would look good too...but not as classic.
They need to go under Tokens.

Perhaps a Clark Gruber like the Winged Liberty?

Technically not my "creation", but I did strike it using the vintage dies.
