    The side up and exposed is the side that will tone. Again, it's a big crapshoot as to whether it will come out nice or not and you typically won't know for months.

    That's why I only ordered the brass,had the silver in my cart but changed my mind.

    My new years resolution was to take a coin & related shopping break in 2018, but

    I could not resist adding enhanced obverse 1918 Peace to my DC Collection.

    ;^)

    Concerning the $20, this is the 1st DC item I've seen with:

    Edge marked ""NOT LEGAL TENDER" and "MOONLIGHT MINT"

    Has the coin hobby protection act changed concerning Fantasy Strikes ?

    beat me to it.

    this is not a copy, so the HPA does not apply.

    I guess couldn't cram 999 silver on the edge, too?

    Looks like Dan is experimenting with edge marking the pieces with “|******E|PLURIBUS|UNUM*****|” as well. This is what I was thinking of when I first noticed the edge on his photos. Interesting that there's a die crack on the edge die for the one gold piece so far. Hopefully a gold one with a raised letter edge is coming!

    Lindy

    The reasoning for the counter-stamps is that even though these are "fantasy" coins, they are not over-strikes. Nor are they actually "fantasy-date" pieces. So I felt that some form of obvious marking was warranted. Either way, marked or un-marked, somebody isn't going to be happy with it. If nobody likes them then they will turn out to be scarcer ;)

    The one that I did in gold did not come out perfect.
    If I can get it to work by over-striking existing Saint-Gaudens Double Eagles in gold, then that version will not be counter-stamped. The counter-stamping of the brass and silver version was also done to differentiate them from any gold pieces that may be released in the future.

    I expect to start striking the Knights of the Coin table medals later today. I've been working on the blanks for them. Fabricating the bi-metallic 50mm blanks took a while to figure out, but they are done finally.

    This version will be counter-stamped.
    However, I expect that there will be multiple versions coming out in all metals in addition to these first ones.
    I expect that some variation of brass and silver will not be counter-stamped. For example, if I made another reverse die that didn't have "TWENTY DOLLARS" on it, then those might not be counter-stamped.

    can always cram the composition in the 2 o'clock - 3 o'clock field on the obverse or did you try that and not like it.

    I bought already, but really really prefer the idea of a non-counterstamped one





    you tried 24k and it did not come out perfect? (stunned amazement if so)

    Dan,
    How about a much much smaller counter stamp? I ordered and paid for three silvers before finding out about the stamp which really is a buzz kill on an other wise awesome design....
    Hope the gold works out. If they do , what’s the likely price range? Could you also make a prooflike gold version?

    I think being creative about the mark can help, however, one specific issue with this coin is that it says "United States of America - Twenty Dollars" so it's worth being on the safer side.

    Here's the "SI" mintmark the Smithsonian Institute used on their Confederate Cent replicas. Others use a Roman numeral current date, e.g. 2017, etc. I imagine the Gallery Mint pieces would be more popular if they used a mark like that vs. COPY.

    1918 for sure. His nice overstrikes usually do better than his "creations". I'm not sure if the resell value will be hurt by creating too many of the broken sword peaces, only time will tell. I think he posted at one time he wanted to do one more date of them after this.

    I bought three 1918 $ and zero 1907 $20.

    I am not a buy one of everything coin collector.

    I really dig the current enhanced obverse 1918 $ with, of course, broken sword reverse in year two.

    I prefer DC's Two Ounce silver 2016 Birther obverse and I am not a fan of letter or number after strike counter stamps. I got my Snake Kabob & St Gaudens coin design covered, and the 2 ounce is HUGE.

    Dan, Please make 1921 $ with roman numerals in date ?
    I'll buy more than three...

    I have a feeling they have already been made with the counter stamp.

    Cramming a smaller CS above the eagle would be good. You likely considered it and tossed it. Would love to hear why you tossed that idea out.
