Nice. Just bought one.

Bullsitter · October 23, 2018 11:23AM

What's there not to like and there's always a chance at some cool ghosting from the host coin....

1940coupe · October 23, 2018 2:58PM

All “1964” and “1965” dies have been totally defaced and scrapped this is what I used to like to see ! guess that didnt happen with 2009-DC “Proofed” Silver Eagles he could still make somebody one of those still has dies ? so what does that do to value ?

coinsarefun · October 23, 2018 3:39PM

Love the overstruck silver eagle proofs.
So if I sent in a few toned mint state ones, can you overstrike as is? Without preparation?
Gawdddd, that would be neat. I guess you would call them counterstruck proofs?
Kinda like you did the counterstruck over Kennedy halves

I had to restrain myself to just one, but now I’m wondering if there will be ghosting on these or not? It would be nice to have one with and one with out...
I am excited in anticipation! I really love the AW eagle reverse on these.

The first 2009 "proofed" Silver Eagles were produced in 2010. There were some varieties, but all of those had the regular Mercanti Silver Eagle reverse (to match the host coins). Those dies WERE defaced and destroyed.

For this new issue, I made two new dies. The obverse die is a little sharper than the previous die. Also, the new issue has the Weinman eagle reverse, which is completely different than the Mercanti reverse that I used in 2010. So the reverse design is completely changed by this over-strike. Here is the production blog for all the Silver Eagle over-strikes:
moonlightmint.com/blog_2.htm

With all the new things I have in mind that I could make, I have no desire to remake something that I already did. In this case, I think the significant change in the reverse design is sufficient to classify it as a "new" item rather than a "remake" item.

Gluggo · October 23, 2018 7:24PM

DC I totally agree your reverse design knocks this coin out of the park. Thank you for your great work.

Paradisefound · October 23, 2018 7:46PM

Can you do it in gold?

This is probably the closest I will ever be to owning a proof walker. Thanks for the update.

What is the simplest way to get moonlight mint products into anacs plastic?

Either give them to an ANACS rep at a show, or send them in via www.anacs.com.

They're overstrikes not 999 AU/AG generic planchets so thats a no go.

Thinking outside the box though, I guess maybe he could pair the design with gold by using the gold walking liberty as a planchet for gold overstrikes. Curious what he thinks of that idea..

It would be physically possible to strike on a 50-gram gold blank. But that wouldn't qualify as an over-strike on legal tender. So I wouldn't do that. Also, the reverse die is marked "1 TROY OZ SILVER 999 FINE", "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "ONE DOLLAR" so I wouldn't want to use that die on anything other than a US Mint Silver Eagle coin.

Since I used both sides of the Weinman Walking Liberty Half Dollar design for this piece, an analogy in gold would be a US Gold Eagle over-struck using both sides of the original Saint-Gaudens design. I've made some things that are similar to that already.

PocketArt · October 24, 2018 1:22PM

I bought one earlier today- hadn't checked Dan's site in a couple of days until this morning, and spilled my coffee over this one! Who needs coffee when you wake up to this sorta adrenaline rush?

Picked this one up on Ebay last night, sellers pics. Only 19 made for the 2017 Denver ANA Show.
Paid $49 for it minus $16 Ebay Bucks = $33 total. Sniped it with 3 seconds left...

Looks like the counterpunch is punched over something else. Or is that glare?

Not sure what happened but it's not glare, maybe that's why it got a 68. I like the look of it though.

Paradisefound · October 28, 2018 9:12AM

It's a DDO IMHO not a defect in any way.

coinsarefun · October 28, 2018 9:59AM

Mine are like that. I'm also thinking its a counterpunch

Kudbegud · October 28, 2018 10:52AM

It looks like "LESHER" is stamped over "Silver". Can't make out the under stamp of "DISPLAY".

1940coupe · October 28, 2018 11:31AM

2019 is getting closer! Ok so what does that mean ? 2019 peace dollar is coming the last two years Dan issued them in January cant wait to stock up !

Sometimes the counterpunch will bounce a little, or make light contact prior to the main blow. That is the case with this one.

Everyone else must have been asleep on this one. That is the only type to show Pike's Peak, and only 19 of that type were made. They usually would sell for well over $100.

Bullsitter · October 28, 2018 12:37PM

That's what I thought too Dan, I was shocked.

Gluggo · October 28, 2018 12:42PM

Let not advertise to much its not a done deal till its in your hand. But I am sure it will go smoothly. Nice catch Chief! again!

7Jaguars · October 28, 2018 2:43PM

I am a "fanboy" mostly of good Dan's coins - I'm looking forward to the first posted pictures of the new 2009 Eagle overstrike proof.

Thanks and very good advice.

And it did arrive yesterday and took some shots today. Got to get better lighting soon.

robec · November 1, 2018 1:18PM

Just got the Year of the Dog. Waiting for the 2009-DC Proofed Eagle.

Aspie_Rocco · November 1, 2018 1:55PM

I want a mule with reverses of the new 2009 AW eagle!
That would be wild.
I digress, I am eagerly looking forward to the arrival of this 2009 over Strike and the fourty silver.

I searched this & other forums and couldn't find mention that these 3 are final mintages.

1940coupe · November 5, 2018 4:10PM

Just know I dont think its funny!

Kudbegud · November 5, 2018 4:53PM

Check this page on Dan's site:

Shows mintage "so far" the numbers reported above.

Coin Talk, the Daniel Carr thread.

DAN SAID:
PS: People may be surprised that the Year-of-the-Dog tokens had final mintages that were only: 48 brass; 39 copper; and 49 silver. And several of the brass and copper were given to non-collectors (my wife's dog park friends). So those probably won't show up in the market. Also, those give-aways have a high probability of being mishandled (impaired condition).
