Bought my first DCarr pieces with the 1964 Morgan. Have to say I'm hooked. What else should I pick up that is available on his site and what is a must buy in the secondary market?

It's up to your likes and dislikes

he has pretty good pics on his site.

Wow, I got the 1/4 oz Clark Gruber piece - beautiful! He's really stepped up his game. I got the holo mosaic piece which was quite nice although not quite as much holo effect as I'd hoped for. There was a bit on Lib's face also. I liked the 1 oz. - nice lil piece.

An overstrike for sale, rather than a clash is my choice,

Clash needs to be strong and obvious.

As cool as it may look in the pic, Im sorry, I just cannot accept this in more than one way. Leave it to me to be the bummer. Theres just something I can`t swallow with these dcarr "products".

Hey, not everyone has to like them. If they aren't your cup of tea don't buy. Pretty simple. I don't like barber's myself and always pass by them without a second thought. #TeamMorgan!

I do like it when Dan innovates with the manufacturing process. Here's a description from his website on the hologram effect on his silver bars:

@dcarr said:
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.

I've been wondering about this and since you posted the description from Dan's site I'll ask here. Dan, do you have a patent on the process or any type of rights to the process you use? I haven't had the pleasure of seeing your holograms in person but when comparing them to other hologram issues online yours do look far superior.

No, I don't have any patents. There are a few other numismatic items that have holograms applied in a manner similar to mine. A lot of them are a type of sticker. So how are the stickers made, or the holograms on credit cards ? There are companies that will do hologram mastering. For a fee they will produce a master hologram image. From that, numerous nickel shims are produced. A nickel shim is a thin nickel foil with small peaks and valleys on the surface. The size of these peaks is in the range of the wavelength of light. When light reflects off the surface, the interference patters in the light waves forms the colors and holographic image. When the nickel shim is pressed into a malleable surface such as a small piece of soft aluminum foil (credit card / hologram sticker) or silver (coin), the peaks and valleys of the shim are transferred to the other surface.

Most holograms pressed onto coins are fairly small. This is because the required pressing force is fairly substantial and larger shims will tend to quickly stretch and tear. When I originally wanted to try holograms in 2009, I wanted one that covered a large area. I ordered a few sheets of nickel shims with a generic "starburst" pattern (like that seen on a compact disk). It cost about $3,000 for the master and about $250 per sheet of shims. Each sheet contained nine instances of the image, each about 2.5 inches square. For my original 2009 hologram product and the recent silver bars, I was lucky if I got 10 pressings of a shim before it degraded to the point where it was no longer useful.

Ignore that.
Now I got it.

Sellers need only wait, at most, two months until I'll be sold out of them or have quit making them.

If you notice...the seller received a neg. for allegedly selling Chinese counterfeit D.Carr replicas. Makes me wonder how many of his sales were actually D. Carr products.

was wondering how the sellers integrity came into this conversation has nothing to do with someone trying to help Dan Carr?

The first 2 have spectacular DCAM frostyness with DMPL mirrors. The second 2 not so much but are at PL standards.

I use a table, newspaper and one eye. In this case, a camera could substitute for one eye. The newspaper goes over one eye, or in this case, beside the camera. It's a very easy test.

CascadeChris · January 2, 2017 12:11PM

Typically TPG graders only use a finger or thumb to gauge the mirrors and adjudicate a coin as either DMPL, PL or not quite there.

using the cert, it's about 2 inches

CascadeChris · January 4, 2017 5:01PM

Just got this beauty. First coin received of 2017 and it's a doozie of a "DAM". It's gotta be one of, if not THE, strongest ghosting I've seen on a Carr overstrike

MsMorrisine · January 4, 2017 5:25PM

Are you sure it's not a reflection in the mirrors?

Lol

Wait, is that a serious question? No, It's not. It's the most extreme host coin ghosting I've seen on a Carr overstrike. Pretty cool huh

BruceS · January 4, 2017 6:31PM

Wow, very cool. Is that under date that easy to see in hand under normal light? or is it more prevalent in photos?
I have some star ghosting but nothing like that.
