    Man, did I snooze (and lose out) on these pieces. :'(

    There are still some available! Don't lose out on those too!

    The earlier CC cancelled die strikes by Don Schmitz had a mintage in the hundreds and are worth a lot now, and even more importantly, almost impossible to find,

    Fewer than 70 of the "CC" and fewer than 25 "S" remain.

    These are a really good deal. I have just a few of each type as I'm a collector and I'm tempted to pick some up myself. I've added some to my cart :)

    Just compare to the Schmitz pieces, which aren't as attractive due to the cancellation mark locations and are also more expensive.

    Dudes ! & The Ladies !

    I had been happy owning a hand full of a few 1996 USA issue cancel olympic dies and some 1996 olympic nationally recognized related collectable dies which were very briefly distributed via fleabay.

    Zoins & others unknown have just blow my mind with their vintage usa die holdings !

    Seriously, Yes, my mind in blown !!!

    I am glad I decided to get me a couple goodies from this most unique & enjoyable coin art offering.

    I really should not have bought a thing, but 2 is better than none !

    Thanks Lindy! They don't appear often so there's a lot of chance and serendipity with these.

    I like the Olympics dies a lot. I don't have any yet but I've been following them and there are a few on my list.

    Can't wait till your pieces arrive and you see them in hand!

    Zoins, I am over the moon concerning 2 ounce. Years ago I briefly had the 1 of 170 two ouncer back when it was $300. It did not wow me, due to lack of prime focal area details, so off it went.

    I have become intrigued with 84cc on struck Morgan in that host coin details exist in X cancelation. It took me an additional day to realize I had to have it. It will play well in my Moonlight Mint Archive. Give me some more time and I'll wish I bought more than one.

    I got one of 4 Brass Centennial pieces and one of 5 1884-S uncleaned O/S.

    Congrats! We only made 4 of the brass ones because the metal is harder on the die. Initially, we considered not doing them as well.

    The uncleaned overstrikes are nice. I personally like the uncleaned overstrikes because I like seeing the undertype. Not everyone likes to see it, and perhaps even most people don't like to see it, but I like it because it gives it character and something more to look at / for.

    Who got one of these?

    The owner of the dies got two for themselves and I got one for myself (no plans to sell in the near future).

    These turned out to be gorgeous pieces. They are amazing in hand. I didn't get one but it was great to be there to see the process in how they were made.

    Quick question to everyone here, would anyone like one of these in gold?

    We didn't strike any in gold but it could be possible before the end of the month (due to the date on the die saying October 2021). Dan and I haven't discussed this but if there's interest, we could see if anything could be done.

    It would be 1.5 oz of gold per piece so a chunk of change.

    As for questions on future strikes which was asked above, I don't think there will be any after this for my "S" mint die. We struck a lot and there's really nothing else left to strike, except potentially some gold pieces. I also plan on keeping the die a long time.

    Here's the photo of the brass one to ponder :)

    Since I have the other 5 released issues in the series I would most likely want this one made available. Keep me posted.

    Vintage dies? Apparently not: https://forums.collectors.com/discussion/comment/13069462/#Comment_13069462

    But maybe we'll see an X-cancelled version of his "Broken Sword" Peace dollar -- especially now, since I believe that series ends with this year's MCMXXI (1921) overstrikes.

    Maybe we'll also see matte and clashed versions too, like these MM Morgans: http://www.moonlightmint.com/blog_18.htm

    Here is some fun eye candy 😳 overstruck on an American Silver Eagle.

    Love the antiqued look — and look close as the Bear has parts of the ASE legend in it’s hide! Some very fine work in die alignment by Coin Master Dan. Only 18 of these struck.

    Love the look of E. Pluribus Unum on the bear!

    This forum disappeared my evolving enjoyable post with many images.
    Too Bad as it was fun to post it all in spite of fact its all been trash canned now.
    Hope those 5 who liked it enjoyed it ?
    Your memories are all that remain as it is my Dinner time, then my Bed time.
    I guess it was some kind of temporary 21st Century Art happening here on 27th of October 2021 ???

    In meantime, I eagerly await my two cancel die strike CC / DC goodies that will join my Carr Coinage Art Collection.

    Lindy,

    The forum software seems to have an indiscriminate propensity to put posts in eternal jail for some unknown reason if you edit them.

    If editing an earlier post, it's best to copy the whole thing to another document in case the original gets "poofed" . . . .

    I would be willing to bet the Mint's version falls short . . . . . . .

    The DC MXCXXI Peace production of 100 pieces has the broken sword reverse and the 2021 US Mint production of 200,000 pieces does not. Quality control issues aside, this fact alone means that the US Mint offering fall short. ;)

    That said, there are 852 2021 Peace Dollars graded by PCGS and listed in their pop report at this time - all MS70. (all listed under commemorative) (and all likely bulk submitted with minimum grade request)

    The mint did a much better job on the Peace compared to the Morgan's. This 2021 mint Peace Dollar actually looks good.

    I agree, but if I had to pick one I'd take door #2 hands down.

    I am right there with you. DC's is top of my want list. It is also number 2 and 3.

    Somehow I missed this being discussed and as usual I was researching something else and this came up.
    Is there someone here that sells these? Do we know who had them made?
    I’m particularly interested in one that might be slightly circulated. Any help wold be great!
    By the way if I’m reading it right some were struck in gold..wowsers!
