Thank you and Dan still has them available if you some....

Thanks, I wrote him to see if I can get the type of antiqued look you have.......not being picky but......I guess I am

See if he'll do two . . . . .

What I don't get is why these are grading as MS? They have been "circulated" by Mr. Daniel by tumbling action if I understand correctly.

Maybe they know it's "Mint Circulated"

Awesome! These look great in hand. I have 2 they are positively radiant!

What color did you get? the blue antiqued or yellow?

Wow - you got the Full Monte there @zoins !! Nice flock!!

@GRANDAM said:
I had 2 that just had very slight yellow just around the rays and the outline of the portrait,,,,,,,,, didn't like it so I dipped it off. If the whole coin had the same overall tone it would have been OK but as is I didn't care for it.

They are now WHITE!!!!!

We need some pics!

Hard Times Token idea for Daniel Carr.
International Monetary Fund SDR currency.
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-03-23/imf-considers-plan-to-issue-as-much-as-650-billion-in-reserves
The IMF wants to create 650 Billion dollars of world currencies out of thin air.
I think this should be commemorated.

That’s still much less than the $3 trillion requested. It’s $650 billion because that’s the limit without getting Congressional approval. If so, will we see $650 billion per year?

I wonder if any other countries will contribute?

Ah sorry - thought that yellow antiqued was a 1921 -- but it's all good!

So the 2021 Centennials are drying up now, Octagons soon. Get 'em while you can!

One of my favorite KOTCT medals, primarily for it's design simplicity and elegance.

I finally captured one in silver. This example has some nice beginning toning.

Nice piece, like the toning, be careful and don't scratch that one.....

I just got my ANACS grade for my MXMXXI counter-stamped, blue antiqued Peace Dollar O/S.
MS65

Curiously, in an earlier submission, I submitted two MXMXXI counter-stamped, gold antiqued Peace Dollar O/S, and received ANACS grades of AU55 on both.

I'm happy with the MS65, but now scratching my head a bit on the two AU55s. Maybe because they were submitted so early after DC released them. Certainly not the difference in the antiquing? Not a big deal to me - they are all great pieces, IMO.

I checked the ANACS pop report for DC 1921 tokens:
AU55 - 3, MS 63 - 1, MS65- 1, and MS70 - 4.

I am assuming that the 70s are from the 100 non-antiqued/non-counter-stamped issues, and the others are from the antiqued/counter-stamped issues. I know that 2 of the 55s, the 65, and one of the 70s are coins that I own.

I have the 63....

.
.I'm so glad I saw this and you guy's pointed me to the right direction...I'm very happy with Mr @dcarr work. Its extremely
eye appealing and pretty!

Now I can't decide which image looks better? Give me some feedback please.

What does it look like more in hand?

Second - bright and cheery & makes me wish I'd waited for the gold-toned over the blue.

Here are mine,,,,, the 1st one is WHITE that I dipped before grading,,,,,, the second one as I received.

Both look much better in hand,,,,,,, I can't get color right on silver coins.

The last one. The first one I did darker to show off the toning

I prefer the one that's more representative of the coin.

If you like the yellow one, they are still available. I'm also sure someone would be more than happy to trade or buy your darker one off of you.

Every batch comes out unpredictably different. So I can't be sure if there will be any more yellow ones.

Good reminder. I was under the assumption more of the yellow batch were available but perhaps not.

The variability is part of what makes collecting these so fun.

Then I thought it was too dark, so I did this one...which do you like better?....mybe neither.....lol

Both look good, but I like the lighter one the best.

Thanks everyone. The lighter version does look more like in hand and @Bullsitter I agree I like the lighter
version best

Just got my circulated in hand. I was hoping for a blue and got one! Awesome piece.

Congrats! I just got a blue and gold. I'll say that the blue & gold is super hard to photograph for me but looks gorgeous in hand! I took a few photos but I'm not very happy with them yet.

I have the following now:

• white
• blue
• gold
• blue & gold

The Centennial Morgan and the Centennial Peace 2oz 0.999 rounds are listed as "out of stock" when I checked today.
(as are the Buffalo OSs and the Clark Gruber octagonal and round issues)

Mintage of the Centennial Morgan listed as 73, and of the Peace Centennial as 151.

Beautiful! I'm happy that I purchased the ones that I did (2x Peace Centennial and 1x Morgan Centennial).

There was a pause in availability while I caught up on production and shipping of various products.
They are now available again but only for another month or so, and then that will be the end of those.

I am planning a similar piece with the theme being the centennial of the first (1921-D) Denver Mint silver dollars.

@dcarr . . . . . .

Does anybody know if and when there will be a "2021 Moonlight Mint Open House" , how you get on the invite list, and if anyone is willing to get something overstruck for ole Zoid (figuring I won't be able to go anyway) . . . . . ?
.

I'll send the "sacrificial items" and pay postage back . . . . . . .

Gluggo and Zoins had some nice pieces made.

Gluggo had a 1918 BS Peace Dollar that looked pretty cool.

That one is not my cup of tea, but like the other.....Shhhhhhhhhh! Thanks for the notify.
