    I was lucky and picked up 3 when they first came out.

    Those are beautiful. I have the 1881 too and it's a great piece.

    The other ones are slightly different. The Jared Grove one is a 1879 and the Chopper one is a 1878.

    Of note, Dan doesn't have a Flowing Hair yet so it seems like the 1878 was paired with a Flowing Hair done by another mint.

    Here are two I wanted but had to pass on given other items on my list, including more of Dan's pieces!

    These were sold for $670 tonight which seems like a great price given the gold content.

    I believe these were struck for Chopper's.

    I saw those (or some just like them) and wanted to buy but there was nothing in the listing (besides the title) or on the coin/slab saying they were actually Carr pieces. I couldn't find a reference to them in the "Catalog with Mintage Figures" on Dan's site either. Are they in the catalog? How are they classified, as they're not overstrikes?

    Recent fun "Two Rollers" acquisition -- the bi-metallics in DCAM have a certain flair about them!

    I've watched Dan's offerings almost every day for new production. Were these August 2020 ones listed there? I didn't see them.

    Love the Flying Eagle design. Hopefully we'll see a circulated version. Maybe a larger-cent version too, like the 1854-55 patterns.

    And maybe a Proof version based on the "skinny" flying eagle pattern.

    Some interesting posts on another thread regarding restrikes of Wilson's So-Called Manila Dollar, struck by D Carr.


    The gold is very cool but pricey at $5k. I like the silver just fine!

    Tip: Join the KOTCT at http://www.knightsofthecointable.com/ (it's free to join, but may require some persistence).

    Exclusively for KOTCT, Dan Carr annually produces Medals with a unique design. If history is any indication, in the Fall you'll be able to order those medals.

    Older medals often sell for a premium on the bay, but sometimes you can snag a bargain if you're lucky.

    OK, how crazy did people get with their orders? He certainly released a lot of material. I usually get just one of each type of overstrike and not all the dates or circulated ones.....

    I couldn't decide which of the two IH cents to include in my order. So I ordered both.

    Nowadays that's as crazy as I get.

    My first order from Moonlight Mint.

    Got the Flying Eagle, the earlier Indian cent, and one Buffalo.

    Now a question: Does DC email existing customers when new items are posted up or do I need to keep checking the website every 30 minutes like I have been?

    Inquiring minds, you know . . . . empty ones too . . . .

    As far as I know, you have to keep checking the website (or wait for the alert on here...could be too late though).
    I've heard some on here mention that they set something up that alerts them when there is a change to the website. Those that do that can say more (if they want to reveal their secrets).

    No email sent. Someone posts here when new items are added. Many of us check often. I have been known to check his main page daily, sometimes twice a day, when I think he's due. This doesn't last long though. ;)
    Someone will notice and the alert post will be up. There are enough fans that it won't take long after new items are listed that that we get informed. AND..... no mintage is certain to become large.
    Make this thread a favorite (the little star in the upper right. Click it and it changer color and gets added to your Bookmarks, also in the upper right. Check this first when you arrive here to see when a new post is added to this or any thread you have an interest in)

    And as mentioned above there are sites that send an email when a change is detected on a web page your are monitoring. https://visualping.io/ is the one I use but there are others, BUT the alert may be posted here before the web monitor sends you their email. "Wear a belt and suspenders" if you take my meaning. B)

    Mintages (so far) are up for the new overstrikes: http://www.moonlightmint.com/coin_catalog.htm

    I noticed many versions of the 1879 nickel were "Not Released": http://www.moonlightmint.com/blog_36.htm

    In particular, I'd love to have a gold-plated "racketeer" version. But I understand why Dan would never produce it for sale.

    I'm with @COCollector -- some plated/brass Racketeer nickels would be AWESOME and historically valid (albeit cons).

    I think it would be acceptable for Dan to make gold plated, reeded racketeer nickels now. No one is going to confuse these with half eagles today.

    Of course, it would be nice to strike some over real half eagles ;)

    I would love to have both, a racketeer nickel and over struck half eagle!

    Here's a 2020 Open House piece from @USAROK that was sold recently. I wanted to get it but recently had a string of auction bad luck and didn't even get a bid in!

    Cripple Creek isn't exactly Carson City, but they were both silver mining hot spots!

    I love @USAROK's posts and hope he visits more :)
