I like it, for the most part. I don't know if I'm crazy about the 50 random stars of differing sizes though. I think an ultra high relief of everything else would be gorgeous though! And I'll still buy one, even with the stars, lol.

The stars in the field sort of remind me of the Gobrecht Dollar... I think it's pretty cool.

I'm a big fan of the different size stars, like on the Gobrecht. I'm not sure about the 6 pointed stars yet but wouldn't mind seeing a mockup.
The Roman numeral date is awesome
I'm going with 5-point stars because that is what is on the flag.
I will also use the Roman Numeral date.
I like what happened here today. DC reveals his Saint Gaudens inspired 2019 Union. Zoins says...Any possibility of using a Roman numeral date instead of "2019"? I post MMXIX * LIBERTY. Shortly thereafter DC responds with a new digital mock up with the Roman numeral date. It looks right. It draws several likes. I smile. Our small but dedicated community became a part of the design process.

Just please don't add "CU" initials to the design as well... the US Mint already puts way too many initials on their coins, lol! Fortunately, Dan does a much better job than the US Mint in finding an appropriate spot for his initials!

One of my pet peeves, too many initials right out there in the open.

It was not me it was Ch#ef who showed me. I am sure Ch#ef wont mind me saying since its posted here some 16 pages back. Yellow sticky note paper pad, but not the sticky part, just wrapped up. But it has to be yellow that is what Ch#ef said so I did.
I flipped them over to see if will attach the other side.
I just checked DC’s web site nothing new yet had to buy something so I did. Price was right "1919" Peace Silver Dollar "Broken Sword" over-strike, High Relief, Bulk Handled yes I could not resist.
I've been curious as to what condition the "bulk handled" coins are in? Like bag marks, or a blemish that doesn't quite get the "high grade" stamp? I have always opted for the high grade pieces.

AK I will post a picture when they come. It is more in my money bracket! I look at it 2 for 1
Plus I bought so many of the other earlier versions did not feel the need to go big dollar.
Like the design - looking forward to seeing the silver and gold versions.

I know thought the years the difference has been described over and over again ! but thats not my problem ! God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change
My goal is to make every over-strike a perfect "high-grade" example.
But some inevitably have some flaws. If the flaw is significant, the coin is melted.
If the flaw is minor (like a small blemish or strike-through) then I convert it to a "bulk handled" example by putting it in a bag of nickels and shaking it up a little bit. The result is a typical "mint bag" appearance.
The "high grade" examples look like they came out of a specimen mint sets (never touched another coin).
@Aspie_Rocco said: @dcarr
What is the purpose of adding more contact marks? With the nickels.
If someone pays the higher price for a perfect coin, and there is a flaw on it, they probably won't be happy.
Rather than melting all the over-strikes that have minor flaws (which would be costly), I make them into a category akin to "factory seconds". Processing them in a bag of nickels is a way to make them look obviously different than the high grade examples. But the "bulk handled" over-strikes are generally still nice in appearance, consistent with an MS65 or better grade.
Whereas "high grade" usually means MS69.
A few local collectors I know that like Dan's overstrikes prefer the bulk handled examples. They put them in their albums, and they like how they blend in with the other coins in their set much more than the high grade perfect examples.
All good to know! Thanks for the explanation. Will go for both in my next order --

Very Impressive collection there @Gluggo! Got my 1919 Broken Arrow Peace Dollars today -- they are drop dead gorgeous! Amazing work Mr. Carr. I'd post pics, but others already have done so.

There have been some 70s as of late but I do not remember which ones. They are posted some 5 to 15 pages back if you want to take the time to look into memory lane. But like I said I do not know which DC coins they were and they were graded by ANACS.
Well I know this was brought up before this very question that to is some pages back. I do not remember the answers. Maybe somebody can re-answer the question.

Oh yeah!
I'm liking this design very much!
I knew it would happen.
Oh my, gotta have one...

Here we go start checking DC’s web site hourly for the next few months!
Sounds like that 5 oz. gold will be pretty sweet!!!

I guess I'd settle for a double strike with 75 stars...

I’m still hoping for the double eagle overstrike

Hopefully the 3oz silver isn't too pricey.
And maybe an affordable color-toned copper too?

MS69 is the highest grade I've seen from ANACS for fantasy overstrikes.
