    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. :) Can someone explain why none of these get a MS70 grade? I now need to catch up this set with the 1917 if anyone has some extras...PM me...

    I've heard ANACS will give his original works a 70, but not any overstrikes that were made on original coins. Not sure why. ICG will though, as I have some.

    Thanks ALL - sounds like some 'splaining is needed. @Insider2 please? Shed light here as you seem to be an expert here --

    Page 45 and 46 talk about the 70 graded and the AT toning of the coins Grand.
    Don’t ask how I found it pure luck no way I could find it again.

    I had to start on page 1 and work my way up. If you go back a few pages you might find where the 1st question started on the 70 grade.

    Good question.

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

    IMO, if the coin is perfect as made, it is a 70. Playing Devil's advocate, any problem with a planchet that shows on the finished coin could be considered a defect. That would include the overstrikes. Some of the coins in the order are getting 70's including the Pease Dollar overstrikes. Beautiful stuff!

    Good for you KindaNewish I know they had your item here talking about it a few days ago! Nice job

    I will post a picture of your item I am sure there are some who will want to comment! You know as far as did you over pay In my opinion is until you go to sell it you wont know. I am no expert on this particular item but it has a great presentation. In fact even Daniel Carr commented on your item.

  • KudbegudKudbegud Posts: 4,735 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I'd say it is a nice framed presentation of Dan's winning design for the New York Quarter. Congratulations.


  • KindaNewishKindaNewish Posts: 827 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I remember seeing on ebay about 20 years ago the original artwork for the Rhode Island quarter.
    Now I have to find that and make a similar display to this one.

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

    @KindaNewish ...... I think you have the rarer of all the coins being featured in this long thread :) One of A Kind indeed.
    Congratulations! You did not overpaid IMHO for historical set ..... it will only worth more as Dan gets older <3

    Only the 21 say "TWENTY DOLLARS" on the reverse. For the 19, read footnote 1 which indicates the reverse says "DOUBLE EAGLE".

  • renman95renman95 Posts: 7,037 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I dunno. Maybe too much of a good thing. Now there's, what, a hundred stars? If you keep the flag, nix the stars in the field...maybe go back to rays. Lady Liberty looks a little awkward holding up a staff and a pole. I like the shield...

  • AkbeezAkbeez Posts: 2,694 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Oh the dangers of decision by committee! Actually, I LIKE LOVE the flag vs the shield. And agree with @renman95 with a rays preference over stars (said that before). But will buy either way!

    Needs a bit more cleavage, but who am I (yes, a male) (come on now, who's with me?) (really now, isn't sexy hip??) (twas good in 1916/17 SLQ no?). :)

    I support @jwitten 's concept too. SOOO many ideas! Oh if only we were all minters (is that a term?)

    Dan, how about something like this in the future? I've been dying for this to get used, ever since they decided to go with a different design in 2015.

    That design might be copyrighted (difficult to know for sure since it wasn't actually used, and it was created by an Artistic Infusion Program participant). Nice design, although I would do some things differently.

    Yup, I'm tired of the Mint always making Miss Liberty less feminine and more androgynous. They did that to a really nice Platinum Eagle design a couple years ago (2016) and on top of that, they gave her face a masculine look.
    What maroons.
