    I love Dan's Coins because it gives me a chance to own perfect examples of classic coins that are no longer made (or never were). ;)

    I enjoy the coins for the pure artistry. Not only that, but also the work he put in to get his enterprise started. Astounding!

    Thanks for the giveaway!!!

    Multiple reasons!!!

    Coins that should have been minted.
    Coins that were minted, but not released.
    Coins minted with different material.
    Coins that a person can dream about being minted.
    Quality.
    FUN!!!
    Overstrikes - who would have thought to do this!!!

    Like them because they reduce the pop of real coins.

    I have never owned one until I received a 2017 liberty/owl in a give-away here. I am very impressed with the designs and talent that he has.

    The artistic engraver is almost a lost art. He does it very well.

    He is a gifted artist. I like RL of Gallery Mint the most but Dan is a close second... :)

  • GluggoGluggo Posts: 3,566 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I just recently learned about Dan Carr less than 1 year ago. I like his work along with the fact that his art creation of coins and tokens ect is on a limited production. That was appealing to me now I cant get enough his his work. I WANT IT ALL!

  • CascadeChrisCascadeChris Posts: 2,526 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I love them because of the high quality and imagination of the products as well as all the ingredients that had to come together to create the Moonlight Mint. The dude who runs it is a really nice guy too!

  • KudbegudKudbegud Posts: 4,735 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Great designs expertly executed in a range of metal types and interesting finishes. Like satin, PL, full proof, holographic, toned, bimetalic. Why wouldn't I be a fan and purchase what I am able to?


  • TurboSnailTurboSnail Posts: 1,668 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Because Dan is also a member of this forum and our community. ;)

    I don't collect it all, but what I have I never plan to sell.

    He's a true artist from the word go with great taste and designs gorgeous coins. I'm a fan :)
    Thank you for the chance.

    I like to see his work and do like the craftsmanship. Fwiw

    I don't love them. Just seem real gimmicky to me. Sorry. Maybe if I will this example my mind will be changed.

    Ditto all the above comments.

    Plus, add Dan's passion for numismatics... love it when there's a backstory.

    I do because they look better than the originals would have.

    I like his art, and the attention to detail he gives to each of his creations.

    Seriously because I put a bug in his ear a few years ago about minting a 1965 dated Peace dollar - and he did! One of my prize possessions.

    I am a fan of some of Dan’s work. I enjoy the satirical pieces and the Clark Gruber items as well. I’m not personally interested in the fantasy items though. He’s a great artist too.

    Thanks! Kevin

    D. Carr "items" are of excellent quality and ingenuity. He produces "items" that were once upon a time items and he mixes some classic designs with a modern twist; quite a few club token designs can attest to that. I just wish that I had the timing to acquire some of his rare(r) pieces.

    Put a little gravy on my entry

    Continued success!

    I can't add anything new to any of the above excellent comments.
    I do think they are cool and mostly attractive....there have been a few I don't love ( an artist can't please everyone all of the time), but all in all an impressive body of work.

  • hchcoinhchcoin Posts: 4,835 ✭✭✭✭✭

    After reading what it took to get his press up and running and then seeing what he has accomplished, I find it amazing. I have never owned one of his coins yet but someday......... Honestly, I think the U.S. Mint should hire him to improve the quality of the coins they are minting.

    ...DC coins are very interesting and fun, they hold their value and mintages stay low, series after series...what’s not to Love there?...and the more and more haters he gathers as time moves forward; the more I like him and his work ;)

  • WildIdeaWildIdea Posts: 1,877 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I like his mining theme works and I appreciate his accessibility and moxie. Everyone has an equal chance to buy directly from the coiner, that's cool. I believe the best works are yet to come.

  • davidlorenz406davidlorenz406 Posts: 4 ✭

    Honestly as of 10 min ago thanks to you I know a little about person and work, I've only been collecting a couple weeks and this site is the first thing I've been part of to learn about the coin world so my answers is the work is respected amongst collectors and is good enough to be praised with compliments I simply scrolled down peoples posts and I see the impact amongst fellow collectors so I absolutely respect and love

    ...and this rendition of what the original Peace dollar might have been is truly staggering. My favorite Daniel Carr, and one I will never sell.
