    His 'Mintage Figures' states that 110 'High Grade' have been minted.
    So, we may have them by then, I hope so!

    I just received another 64-D die pair 1 piece. I gotta say I do believe it's just as nice as can be. Everything looks lined up perfectly. I just received it. I think it's gorgeous.

    There are a few other new offerings on his site. I bought a few of the 3 ounce bars, which have a low mintage of 36! Whoo hoo!

    Hand-poured 3-troy-oz 999+ silver bar, freshly refined to high standards. 28mm x 49mm x 6mm. Stamped on a surplus Denver Mint Grabener coin press using 16mm round Clark Gruber die.

    Starburst pattern hologram on front yields an opalescent appearance. Unlike other numismatic "hologram" products which are just a foil sticker or polymer coating on the surface, this hologram is imprinted directly onto the silver. There is no polymer coating, sticker, or anything other than pure silver to form the hologram.

    Plain back imprinted "3 / TROY OZ / 999 / SILVER / 120 DOLLARS".

    Non-PVC bag holder. Note: These are not issued with any sort of certificate.

    If they are anything like the 1964 Peace dollar they will do quite well in the secondary market. Actually when you consider that Morgan dollar collectors are far more numerous than Peace dollar collectors they should do exceptionally well on the secondary market. Obviously, not every Morgan dollar collector will want one but with such a low mintage it won't take many to exhaust the supply. Of course many will be bought by non-Morgan dollar collectors who like unusual and interesting rare coins.

    Dan already did a Morgan Dollar overstrike a few years ago, the 1909-o Dollars. Those were and still are quite popular, but they still don't sell for the same levels as the 1964-D Peace Dollars that he did. And less than 600 1909-o Morgan Dollars were made. So just being a Morgan Dollar isn't enough. If that were the case, all else equal, the 1909-o Morgans should be selling for much more than the 1964-D Peace Dollars with their much lower mintages... but that just isn't the case.

    I ordered a few of the 1964 Morgans because I think they are cool, but I don't think they'll match the values of the 1964 Peace Dollars simply because they are Morgans.

    Hadn't realized that this thread was 2 months old and the coins are still available. The fact that the 1964 peace dollars were actually produced with some still rumored to exist might be a factor for their popularity.

    How long did it take for the Peace versions to sell out?

    I just saw you can now only buy one of the limited 3 oz bars. If we got our order in before the limit, do we get all we ordered? I only bought 2 by the way.

    Two is ok if the order was placed before the restriction was placed.
    Any orders with more than two may have to be limited to two, regardless of when the order was placed.

    Bought one Fri. $180 was a showstopper, a major Huh? thought process. Holy Moly.

    What's up with purchase restriction? I didn't see that. When was that, Sat. ? Buy as you like for a total of 36 hologram bars, MHO. Buy 'em all.. I don't get it.

    Buy what's offered under term, MHO.

    I agree, just like the last 'Silver Octagon Owls', limited to two per household.
    Quite fair, and, a good reason to have a link to his site on your desk top, I check in daily.

    Nothing wrong with restricting purchases. It's a very pro-collector approach.

    If there is no restriction, flippers and hoarders would either prevent collectors from getting coins or drive up mintages beyond what is supported by the collector base.

    IT'S RESTRICTING AFTER IT'S FOR SALE, DUE TO DEMAND, M*****, CRAZY, Post an offering, suffer excessive demand, suffer the consequence. This isn't the first time DC has done this. I don't get it.

    For example, PCGS stopped grade guarantees for copper color and milk spots. Before a certain date, you got guarantees. After a certain date, you didn't. Are you just as upset with those changes?
