    Darth, that 1919 Peace Dollar is a beauty! Nice score!

    I actually didn't score that one, @Downtown1974. But I may have to try for one later. I've spent a lot of money of Carr items during the past 3 weeks. I gotta control myself. ;-)

    One minor correction. The "population" of the "1964-D" Morgan over-strike with brilliant satin finish was not "1,964". It was 1,003 (with an additional quantity of proof-like, matte, and cancelled-die over-strikes). All the production details are here: moonlightmint.com/blog_18.htm

    Got it fixed, @dcarr. ;)

    Nice pickup Kathyl Thats a nice one must of got a secret source. :o

    The newest Pick Up! 1916 Barber Half Thanks to RichieuRich for making this happen. Is that a die crack? Its the same on the other coin on the same spot! :p

    Off of Daniel Carr's web site!

    Die Pair 1

    Die crack on reverse
    started early as a thin
    vertical line on shield,
    then gradually became
    more severe.

    Final die state also has a
    crack from the center
    to the “C” of AMERICA.

    That's pretty cool. I think that's what mine is? This is the pic from great collections when I bought it
    some time back. Is it the only one?

    I can't wait until my coins come in.

    One question, I've seen a lot of Dan's coins pictured here and items on eBay that have been encased in holders. It seems like several have rotated die reverse, only about 5°, is this done on purpose or is it just the way these coins are pictured ?

    @Gluggo, are your pics of one coin or several? It appears your die crack extends almost to the bottom of the eagle's tail. CAF's coin appears to be a much earlier die state -- all pretty dang cool! Thanks for sharing ~~ :)

    Oh those early Carr Peace Dollars -- those are really great pieces, basically a historical landmark strike to honor this great US silver dollar series. It was also where Dan experimented with many failures with his overstrikes. One only has to peruse his blog http://www.moonlightmint.com/blog_1.htm to get a glimpse of how many trials and errors occurred before he was able to perfect the process to release any. I'm still a newp on these and encourage any thoughts from those "more in the know".

    I hadn't logged into this bookmarked post for a few weeks, saw that were 163 new posts!
    Figured right then that I had better login to MM and see whats available!
    Ordered the Octagon Owl, have a complete set set, and dupes from the latter years, I'd hate to miss out on one.
    Have ordered many DC struck items over the years, never disappointed.
    I need to take a complete inventory and post pics.

    Good memory! I was lucky to win that one. That's one of my favorites as I'm a big fan of both Moonlight Mint Open House medals and Dan's concept dollars. I spoke to Dan on this piece and he said that he made it for himself so it has a nice history to it as well.

    I integrated Carr's 90% silver dollar overstrikes into our registry (SSDC) to give a home for collectors of his outstanding craftmanship. To support it, I have been assembling a reference set, which is almost 90% complete.

    My favorite is one he struck late last year. I sent him the rattiest plugged 1801 early dollar. He struck his 1805 (Die Pair 1) fantasy dollar with it as the host. Low population, as one would expect. The difference in presentation is outstanding. Please pardon the image qualities. I shot the one with a cell phone and the other with a DInolite.

    Indeed, this is not the die, I did not think it was.

    This silver strike is evidence the 1885 gold die exists. When located it should travel to Moonlight Mint to produce something paired with a newly created die, or paired with his canceled 1996 West Point USA gold reverse die, or ?

    It would make an interesting Mule with those two dies, if he does I hope he does a Brass or Silver version for those that can't afford the gold.

    Nice idea you have. 😁

    Maybe Daniel could do a Clark Gruber pairing with it ?

    I realized a while back that coin collectors might also own old historic / scrapped dies.

    I think Daniel got access to someones die last year and did a limited run. Makes it more affordable when dies are on loan for his artsy projects.

    I did not collect Moonlight Mint items when the October 2010 Die Pair 5 1964D were minted and sold.

    I am very happy to get these accurate, based on archived 64D obverse die image direct from Daniel Carr in 2020.

    I Still think .30" dies with a thinner than current 1920 fat "IGWT" motto struck in high relief 1964D Peace would be an awesome addition to complete my 64D Peace collection.

    I really enjoy the 31S High Relief Peace so being able to get a 64D HR to go along with my 31S HR would be fantastic.
