    Sorry, just not impressed by these. I've seen other examples of his work that are very nice, but these just leave me flat.

    I have the 2011 version, ie the Bust version which IMHO is absolutely awesome.

    Not to bad but they do seem to have a modern computer aided design look to them. The sculptors of old really had that extra something that made their designs special.
    Gold and silver are valuable but wisdom is priceless.

    I think I have one with the rays. I like rays.

    Also, I know someone who is absolutely convinced that the new world currency is the Amero and that china is making them. Showed him a DCarr Amero. Didn't really explain the truth either. Poor guy. I definitely screwed with his brain.

    Love that 2007, but didn't find these until starting in 2008. Drat! Have still missed some nice ones, but just got my 2013s and really like them! Also managed to get the 2011 set, which is terrific!

    Sadly, I do not have ANY of the Carr Trade Dollars and I just do not know (or remember) why.

    I've got a couple of 2007 Amero's and a lot of the fantasy pieces but no TD's! (Kinda like what the Ravens are going to have!)
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



    The name is LEE!

    I have a few of the 2007 $20 piece. Including one that has been wrapped in a taco bell napkin and is toning to a straw gold shade. Someday his series will be cataloged researched written about and yes slabbed by TPGs. I think the $20 Trades will be the Hot Coin. Personally I wouldn't sell one for less than $1000 ~~~~~~ I have one of these too. (Dans photo)... . image
