    Does anybody know how many were produced and how many were actually used as props in the movie?

    “Movie Prop: this coin was not in the actual movie -- graded MS69”

    In my mind, it isn't a movie prop then.

    I always thought a fin was $5, so it seems like with two fins it should be worth a sawbuck ($10).

    Awesome coin! I've been wanting one, thanks for link.

    I'd pay 499.99 x 0.1 for that. :) List Too pricey for this cheapskate (me) :wink:

    The coins designed for the movie are second from the bottom on this page .

    Looks like about 174 total of all varieties, . The label only states silver variety.
    The sellers notes do say THIS COIN WAS NOT USED IN THE ACTUAL MOVIE !

    I think Dan stated in the Coin Heist thread that he had given a couple away to a friend , but you would have to go back and read the thread to get more details.

    Looks like 83 clad, 47 silver.
    Lance.

    From Dan's website:
    Michigan state quarter concept, 2016.

    Obverse: Washington state quarter design based on original by John Flanagan.
    Reverse: Michigan fishing scene (two varieties).
    Type 1: 1 fin on back of fish.
    Type 2: 2 fins on back of fish.

    Variety 1, over-struck on US Mint copper-nickel clad Washington quarters (1973-2016 vintage, statehood, possessions, national parks, regular, Bicentennial): 39 minted.
    Variety 1, over-struck on US Mint 90% silver Washington quarters (1936-1964 vintage): 5 minted (two medal-turn orientation, three coin-flip orientation, one was widely broad-struck).
    Variety 2, over-struck on US Mint copper-nickel clad Washington quarters (1973-2007 vintage, statehood, regular, Bicentennial): 83 minted (one was broad-struck).
    Variety 2, over-struck on US Mint 90% silver Washington quarters (1940-1964 vintage): 47 minted (most have medal-turn orientation, one was double-struck, two were Variety 2 struck over Variety 1).

    Some have medal-turn orientation and some have coin-flip orientation.
    All were over-struck in a cracked collar with a small edge protrusion near the “GA” of MICHIGAN.

    In my mind, it isn't a movie prop then.

    It should be listed with the word "replica" appearing after "Prop" or with some other similar wording in the title.

    It appears that this eBay seller kind of likes to shoot for the Moon .. get it

    He's asking $699.99 for a D.C. Lesher token MS68 and a #004 at that.. YOWZA !!

    I was searching for the 1965 Peace Dollar as it's been awhile since I checked on their going rate .
    I see $399.99 and only one on eBay .. YOWZA !!

    I then realize it's the same seller ..:(

    I sure hope he gets his prices :)

  • ZoinsZoins Posts: 34,401 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Wonder if any of the 1 fin silver with 5 minted will become available!

    Don't insult the coin. Price is up to $1000. If you want it, better get it now before it goes up again.

    Come on Coupe !!

    Are you for real ??
    It's an issue of 47 that went to certain people , but they will surface eventually . $950 ???

    Just because a similar coin appeared in a movie, but wasn't the actual coin ???

    Think about all of the multiple different DC pieces that can be purchased for that amount of money .

    I truly hope he gets it's it, but it's way overpriced in my opinion even when it was $500 .

    Am I jealous this guy has one ?? Yes
    Do I think his prices are astronomically crazy on everything he offers ???? Yes and yes

    The "it's not for sale scenario I certainly understand ", but if you want one that bad then I would contact Dan , because I can't imagine he would want anything close to his buddy's prices . He may have one that he is willing to let go for a more reasonable amount .
    $950 for a 47 minted release

    Ohh please !! :(

    I wonder if those are 2 sided reverse coins. It seems like the reverse is up on all the coins!
