    The 16mm silver Owl fractionals for 2018 and 2019 are both done - final mintage 54 of each.
    They actually had remained available for some time (over two months), with the 2019 selling out first and then the 2018 recently, when one purchaser bought the last seven.

    Hummmmm,,,,, I must have misread your Web Site at some point as I had the final mintages as 86 pcs for the 2018-D & 56 pcs for the 2019-D. Of course 54 pcs is even better for me.

    Thanks @felinfoel. I've been checking every morning. I may have been too late or not checked in the morning. Now for the big Gold version of MMXIX (2019) Large Format Winged Saint-Gaudens. That will be the frosting on the cake.

    @dcarr - With your report on the edge of possibility above will the 5 oz gold of the same design make it through the process?

    Great! Got my 3 oz union, and a 1.5 owl to stay current with series! Beautiful- I especially like the $100 union. I see production is currently at 18 with that...wouldn't it be nice to see total final production on those south of 50??? Shameless greed...sorry!

    Were the Susan B. Anthony over-struck Apollo's ever offered? It says sold out- this must have been updated because last I checked they hadn't been sold. I was waiting for one of these after I purchased the over-struck concept a few years ago that were struck on "golden" dollar Sacs/Pres.

  • AkbeezAkbeez Posts: 2,694 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I saw that too -- but after carefully reading the stats, it says they were minted in 2016. Not sure why? So they must have been sold out since then.

    @dcarr, Great Thomas Elder token.

    Do you know what the reverse text means on this token? What is "NERVE"? Is Pennsylvania Gold actually gold or is it something like German Silver?

    Mike Locke has some images of the Elder tokens here and indicates @CaptHenway owns the dies.

    http://www.calgoldcoin.com/oldhtml/big.htm

    Here are the original mintage figures. Anyone know where the gold specimens are?

    • Gold: 2
    • German Silver: 10
    • White Metal: 10
    • Silver: 25
    • Copper: 25
    • Gilt Brass: 100
    • Aluminum: 200

    Elder medals with a parody of Farran Zerbe's LPE tokens (see state gold tokens). DeLorey 71 in German-Silver, White-metal, and gilt brass shown with 10, 10, and 100 struck respectively. These also exist in gold (2), silver (25), copper (25), and aluminum (200). Apparently DeLorey owns the dies. Shown at 1/2 scale of the small coins.

    I had to ask myself, "what would I do with a 3 oz. silver, high relief coin designed by Daniel Carr that showcases his continuing expertise and talent for enhancing many of our classic coin designs?"

    There's really no need for justification when it comes to nice stuff. :)

    My answer is the same thing as his smaller pieces but I just can't put this in to a regular plastic box of 20! :D:open_mouth:

    I had to get one anyway. I also have some of his large Knights of the Coin Table pieces so it should be okay with those.

    I believe the obverse design on over-struck S.B.A.'s and "golden dollars" were submitted to Congress for consideration sometime before the Sacagawea dollar design was chosen?

    The two S.B.A., and golden dollar were minted, as you mentioned, I believe in 2016. I remember checking production totals on these a few times, over a year ago, and the S.B.A.'s had not been sold, so, they must have been in the last year. I always wanted one to compliment my golden dollar version. Just curious if anyone ever bought one, and where?

    PENNSYLVANIA GOLD
    1/2 NERVE
    OTHER HALF BRASS

    Just found this thread from Bill on CoinPeople.com. Bill has an amazing collection so I wasn't surprised when the one I ran across was his.

    http://www.coinpeople.com/topic/21157-was-ana-president-farran-zerbe-a-n-ass/

    Bill indicates that Thomas Elder made this as a satirical piece to criticize then ANA President Farran Zerbe. Elder and Zerbe ran against each other for ANA President. It might be fun to use the vintage die with an obverse that has both Elder and Zerbe ;)

    Do coin people make tokens poking fun at other coin people today? :p>:)

    Notice that Louisiana is spelled "LOUISI A.N.A.". Also, "1/2 Nerve / Other Half Brass" is a criticism of Zerbe's concession to sell the US commemorative dollars at the expo where he was actually selling his commemorative gold half dollar gold pieces which the design hits on.

    Zerbe had the concession to sell the US commemorative dollars at the exposition (they were not that popular even though they are today) and he sold his own fractional gold pieces. According to Elder, they were half nerve and half brass (they came as a pair in a quarter and a half denomination). I don't have one in my own collection as yet, but I will post one here when it is acquired (its on my list after acquiring this medal). Note the LOUISI A.N.A. dig at Zerbe. I didn't realize when I wrote the earlier piece in this thread that the ass above is a Ze®bra(e).

    ...

    Elder felt Zerbe was creating collectibles to sell the US commemoratives in 1904 and 1905. He was having "gold" pieces struck with less gold than their implied value and then marketing them as a bargain to sell the commemorative gold dollars. The action was not that much different than the marketing of the gold charms. The Coins of the Golden West were a bit different since they carried their "denomination" in gold (one pennyweight, half penny weight, quarter penny weight). Zerbe implied that his "half" had 50 cents worth of gold, it didn't. Today, the Coins of the Golden West sell for a lot more than the gold charms of the period, so I would say that time was on Zerbe's side.

    Here's info on Zerbe from Wikipedia:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farran_Zerbe

    Louisiana Purchase Exposition gold dollar

    To commemorate the centennial of the 1803 Louisiana Purchase, and the subsequent Lewis and Clark expedition, two World's Fairs were held: the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis Missouri in 1904, and the Lewis and Clark Exposition in Portland Oregon in 1905.[2] Part of the souvenirs included numismatic items, and the ANA’s proponent Farran Zerbe was at the center of promoting it. Zerbe avidly sought to popularize coin collecting through his travelling exhibit, “Money of the World.” He publicized the United States first commemorative coins – the Isabella Quarter and Columbus Half Dollar – issued for the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair.[2]

    He backed the gold dollars for the 1904 St. Louis Fair, with two versions being produced: Jefferson and McKinley. He was also placed in charge of distributing the entire mintage of Louisiana Purchase Exposition gold coins.[3] Zerbe spearheaded the initiative to have US gold $1 coins struck to commemorate the Lewis and Clark Exposition. He supported a commemorative with Lewis’ bust on one side, and Clark’s on the other.[3] The appropriations bill for the Lewis and Clark Centennial Celebration was passed by Congress on April 13, 1904. It provided the mintage of 250,000 gold dollars that would bear likenesses of the two explorers.[3] All dollars were struck at the Philadelphia Mint.

    Zerbe was placed in charge of the distribution of the coins at the exposition. He enthusiastically trumpeted the coins when sales were sluggish for the Louisiana Purchase pieces at $3 each.[3] The Lewis and Clark dollars sold for $2 each when the fair opened on June 1, 1905. Zerbe soon raised the price to $2.50 by claiming that the 1904 issue was almost sold out.[3]

    Not satisfied with the US gold dollar as the sole numismatic commemorative of the occasion, Zerbe had private quarter and half dollar tokens struck in gold.[4] These pieces depict Mt. Hood, and very little is known about them. It is believed that they were manufactured in Chicago and are akin to the quarter and half dollar tokens that were distributed at the St. Louis fair.[4]

    I may have to break down and buy one.

    For the record, I sold my entire Elder collection (excluding only a steel hub for the obverse of the Brian Boru Dollar) in 1984 to Leon Hendrickson personally. He held it intact until his death, but it and the dies have been disbursed.

  • planetsteveplanetsteve Posts: 1,425 ✭✭✭✭

    That doublestruck coin is pretty cool looking, but I'd rather have the proof version with clashed dies. There was one up forever that I didn't act on, now there's another but with a higher asking price. I thought demand for the 1964 Morgan was pretty relaxed... but maybe not.
