I was taken by the music. I was waiting for a second coin to join in and,...thought I might have to look away, then the flip. Yikes. Personally, I'd put her back on the boat....unless this is a rare bubble version. ;-)

That is strange. I inspected every one and none of them had anything like that as minted.
It could be that the silver bar I rolled out for that one had some trapped gas bubbles or something, and then they emerged during pressure/altitude changes during shipping ?
Anyway, sorry about that. Please send it back to me for replacement.

My $100 Union and sixty dollar octagon arrived moments ago. The Oct. Is a beauty and frankly the Union has me just shaking my head in amazement. I missed the boat on a second but will have another. Did someone say proof?
I should have bought 10.... They are absolutely amazing. The depth of relief and the iconic nature will make it one of the most desirable strikes we have seen yet. It should be a US mint design.
Proofs next.... I need to drum up more money for a possible gold strike but I need 2-3 more months at the rate of me bleeding through green paper.

For some reason Dan's shipments, though having a tracking number, don't show in my Informed Delivery list 90% of the time. Very odd. So when my post woman knocked on the door I wasn't expecting her. Had to hastily put on my pants and answer the door. (It's warm here so I'm usually in just my boxers) TMI ? Sorry.
Question: Do any of you usually get a tracking number for Dan's shipments?
HA! I'm retired so pants are optional (clothes for that matter) in this castle. TMI sorry too! Except I have to get my mail at a private POB. No -- didn't get any tracking with the order. "Flat-rate" was basically what the shipping email stated, assumed Priority.

I contacted the seller a year or two ago about the 45 mm and larger slabs.
The demand was so low they stopped making them.
I have a couple of the 45 mm so I bought a drum type sanding thing, and made the hole bigger.
The seller is in China and I purchased the off the bay.

There are these DIY slabs. The part that holds the coin can be cut to fit your coin. I've done it. https://ebay.com/itm/Pack-of-5-QUICKSLAB-Rectangular-Coin-Capsules-inner-diameter-28-mm/272441554673
The 28 mm would give you the greatest flexibility to cut to size.
Overall size: 3 3/8 x 2 3/8 x 3/8" (85 x 60 x 10 mm) so a 50 mm should fit. The thickness of the big 100 gram is 6 mm so that is with in the specs.

I found these that look like they will be a drop in fit. I have 5 on order. I ordered the 49mm but it appears that they are only able to accommodate 5mm in width vs the 6mm+ of the Carr $100 union.
Where did you see the 6mm thickness for the 100 gram Union? I didn't find it on Dan's site.
I think it's closer to 5.5mm but I could be wrong.
I measured it on my example with my ultra precise plastic school 7 inch ruler. HaHaHa
Let me try with a micrometer I have. I'l put the thinnest Mylar I have on the surfaces so as not to scratch it. Stand by.
edit to add
With my Pittsburgh 6" Digital Calliper, accurate to ± 0.02 mm - at the rim = 5.88 mm

Sorry, I didn't zero it. New measurement = 6.16 mm at the rim.

Now I'm wondering if the Y-50mm Airtite is a bit too snug in depth (5.49mm).

Also let me say that the larger slab is NOT deep enough. I used scotch tape to join the sides.

Yes, I asked him and he said these were done on contract (??) and likely would be available soon. I know I am a buyer...Not crazy about the KCOCT and Merlin coins, but like the overstrikes...
I too got my 100D. St. Gaudens; overall I like it but think that it must be a challenge to do the forearms. The rest of the obverse Ms. Liberty head and torso great, but the only suggestions would be for Lib to be holding an olive branch possibly. Dan, don't get upset but Lib's arms look a bit phocomelic (sort of like thalidomide induced).
Love that Milled British (1830-1960) Well, just Love coins, period.
Does that mean they are all going to the "contract" and will not be available for purchase by the regular method? Possible purchase from the contract holder?
@PipestonePete said:
Two different style of holders for the 3-oz. $100.
Would you give the details? Like which brand and part number for each please. It looks like they fit nicely. Close all the way?
The Airtites came from Amazon...see attached link. These work very well. The 50mm holder without the gasket I had ordered some time ago on Ebay. They work nicely too but the irregular sizes of the medals can be an issue. I originally had both of these in gasketless holders. I received the Amazon holders today and when I attempted to remove one of the medals from the gasketless holder I discovered that it is wedged in quite tightly. When I tried removing the other medal from the gasketless holder it dropped out with little effort. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A6WTWYM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Does that mean they are all going to the "contract" and will not be available for purchase by the regular method? Possible purchase from the contract holder?
That is the only detail I know - maybe on his site, I hope. He says they are commissioned and that ?? they may possibly be purchased from him.
Not sure if I like the ad hoc ordering of strike overs for those of us trying to collect his issues...
Well, just Love coins, period.
Nice catch!
That 1985 looks different than Dan's Proof ASE overstrikes.
That is, maybe the contract is only for bullion (uncirculated) 1985 overstrikes?
And maybe, Dan will offer a Proof 1985 ASE on his website. I'd buy one.

Two different style of holders for the 3-oz. $100.
Would you give the details? Like which brand and part number for each please. It looks like they fit nicely. Close all the way?
The Airtites came from Amazon...see attached link. These work very well. The 50mm holder without the gasket I had ordered some time ago on Ebay. They work nicely too but the irregular sizes of the medals can be an issue. I originally had both of these in gasketless holders. I received the Amazon holders today and when I attempted to remove one of the medals from the gasketless holder I discovered that it is wedged in quite tightly. When I tried removing the other medal from the gasketless holder it dropped out with little effort.
