YOUR personal photos of Moonlight Mint coins

braddick · January 7, 2021 3:51PM

Many of the pictures featuring Daniel Carr's creations are of a more professional nature. That's all well and good. My favorite shots are from those collectors who forsake the online professional photos and shoot their own. The coins/metals appear more realistic, so to speak. At least for me.

Here is my "1965" Peace dollar. I enjoy the full strike hair details of this.

I would enjoy your own photos of any you may own from the Moonlight Mint (or the Gallery Mint, for that matter!).

I have two pieces by DC. Here is one of them. These are my images of the piece shot without a slab or flip to interfere-

You don't have any Dan Carr pieces or you don't have any unprofessional photos of your Dan Carr pieces?

You don't have any Dan Carr pieces or you don't have any unprofessional photos of your Dan Carr pieces?

I should have been more specific.
I have neither

"can you share the background on them?" Can research all past issues on Dan's site. http://www.dc-coin.com/2001apolloastronautlargebronzemodelproof-1-2-2-1-2-1-2.aspx

If the U.S. Mint made Peace dollars as nice as Dan Carr, they would be one of the most collected series. Yeah, I know he didn't have to produce them in bulk, but I wish the mint had done a nicer job with them.

From D. C. himself, dated 09-25-10. First time I've looked at them in hand in several years. The die pair 6, sandblasted matte finish is developing a golden hue with just the beginnings of rainbow around the periphery:

Wow, nice pics. Some day in addition to trying to collect stuff, I will need to learn to take great pics and photo edit, but that will have to wait till retirement, which is a ways off. Best I can do is post simple pics. Here were some of my pieces as of a week ago, but I believe a number of them will show up again in the near future with much better photos.

oih82w8 · January 8, 2021 4:34PM

I have a couple D. Carr pieces, but I leave the imaging to those who can.

Attumra · January 8, 2021 5:01PM

Wow all those peace dollars are amazing to look at really good pics here. Ty My heart is racing looking at them. I really don't know much about his art but the ae cool to see. I wonder if there is a 1967 peace dollar hes did? Great thread !
