Whoa -- doesn't that make them the lowest mintage in the Sword series?
I see also the PL Unions now maybe show a "final" mintage of 101 (but not sold out). Must be the last batch is about ready to ship!

I was just looking over my 2019 Astronaut silver dollars and thought they looked Reverse-Prooflike - shiny devices (astronaut. lander and eagle) on a satin background. Anyone think the same?
There are currently some proofs still available..... I think it was 8 when I checked last. There is a satin Union on ebay for $299.
Still want a gold $100 union..... I am heavily saving in case the price for a 5 ouncer in gold is within my budget. It will be a tough one for me to purchase, business has been slow.
A 5 oz gold Union will be out of my reach, but would be an amazing piece.
Looks like the 2019 Octagon Owl has gone dark.

If a $100 Gold Union gets produced, I'd guess it would be something like a FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS symbolic value Gold UNION.

I was very fortunate to acquire a KotCT 2018 (St. George & Dragon), color-toned copper Dan put aside. I seen it at the Denver Expo last month, but regretting not buying it then...I got lucky he still had it. I am working on a decent image. Just a teaser until then.

The 2 ounce?
I don't believe that he made a 2 ounce color-toned copper. Although I have the bigger majority including the the 2 ounce cob. I'll post images of those soon!

I've seen a number of the color toned KOTCT 1oz copper medals and have noted that they generally seem fall into two categories as shown, one is more brownish and the other is more magentaish. I have one that's more on the brown side like @Downtown1974 and I've thought about picking up the other kind like shown by @oih82w8.
Mr. Carr, do you personally hand address your product shipments or does someone else do that for you ? I ask because I would keep the packaging (as your autograph ) if you actually are the one writing it. I am very happy with my $100 Union PL and everyone I show it to is very impressed with your work.

Was fortunate to recently land this complete trio set of 2016 Centennial silver 1 oz "rounds". They were struck in two finishes: satin (mintage 377+, avail singly); and antiqued (mintage 74 each, sold only in a set of three). I think the antiqued half is a very REGAL looking piece, but all are very nice. Scratch on the dime is on the slab.
Still waiting on my Unions...somewhere in transit...

@Akbeez those are so much nicer than the regular satin finish. I’ve been looking for the antiqued but they don’t come up often. I have the satin set with one being an ANACS 70 and the other 2 being raw.

Thanks - there's 3 halves currently on ebay but a bit pricey. One's antiqued. Was lucky to find all three at reasonable prices around the same time. Fun part is there are many very nice low mintage Carr pieces that come up if you know what to look for. Good luck!

Received my Unions and "Circulated" Broken Arrow Peace's recently. No surprise, the Unions are crazy nice pieces. No sign of any artifacts on them. Were they simply a custom ingot pour that solved the problem?
ALSO - SOME Broken Arrows have an interesting coloring to them. Come to find out that some of them unexpectedly came out with pastel colors (according to the website). Of the two I got, one has a green pastel tinge (shown above), the other is a brownish/worn appearance.
Another great performance by Mr. Carr!

Very impressive picture taking Chief!!!!! We’re these Professionally done?
Come on share your secrets.
Thanks Gluggo, no secrets just PhotoScape. I hope to be as good as you one day...
I retire July 1 and I'm going to the garage and try to find my copy stand and tripod.
Then practice, practice and more practice...

A couple of keepers I had Todd photograph recently:
That is correct - I am currently packaging all pending orders for shipment.
Just arrived from ANACS, very happy with the grades and the fast service.
2018 KOTCT Antiqued Brass, I love the toning on this one.
1815 Matron Head Antiqued Large Cent O/S, Mintage 23, very nice color.
1858 Classic Head Antiqued Large Cent O/S, Mintage 14, nice chocolate brown.
2019 Clark Gruber Silver Owl Octagon, beautiful piece.
VERY nice Chief, but there is something about that chocolate Braided Hair...wowza!
Matt, the color on that toned 2018 KOTCT medal is outstanding!
Chief, loving that chocolate! Great grades!

Just wanted to say that I love my PL $100 Union. The heft, relief and mirrors are all great. Dan's outdone himself with this piece!
I concur. Very appealing piece and perhaps my favorite of all his work. "One big hunk of cool."
