Dan Carrs latest

Love your designs and get well real soon.
Wayne

Best wishes for a quick recovery Daniel.

GMM is on page 679 & 680.
Daniel Carr is on 691-697

Both I found in the 6th ed of Unusual World Coins, the Reference PCGS uses when you submit with catalogue number as I have read here on the forums.

Here's my post when I gleefully bought a shrink wrapped book

Does anyone know where pcgs currently stands on grading Daniel cares?

PCGS grades the ones cataloged in the Chester "Chet" Lee Krause book, "Unusual World Coins, 6th Edition". There are some threads on this:

• My Daniel Carr 1964-D Peace Dollars Have Been Graded by PCGS!
• PCGS slabs Daniel Carr! Way to go! You rock!

This book primarily covers coin-related items, so Dan's medals, may not be covered, but a larger issue is that it hasn't been updated since October 13, 2011. An unfortunate thing is that the publisher declared bankruptcy in 2019 so another catalog may be needed.

I was thinking about sending my Oregon trail piece in

I haven't seen PCGS slab anything that wasn't cataloged in Krause yet but it may be worth trying as I've seen PCGS slab more items that don't have catalog numbers.

Best wishes Dan! Get well soon.

AND, his work has been in the Krause Unusual World Coin's catalog for quite a while too. I have the 5th Edition of that book, published in 2007. and both Ron and Dan's work is listed.

The pieces of Dan's that are covered (with photographs in many cases) are:

o Parody Quarters
o Alternate / Prototype Quarters
o Bessie Coleman Prototype Dollars
o Sacagewea Prototype Dollars
o Presidential Dollars (both eagle and SOL reverses)
o The 2009 Astronaut Bimetallic "Two Rollers" Prototype Dollar
o The 2007 Seated Liberty 20 Trade Dollars

Hope that helps.

How did the 1964-D Peace Dollars get slabbed at PCGS (I remember seeing those in Zoins post a while back)? Did they show up in the 6th edition along with others maybe?

That would be a good assumption. I only have the 5th Edition and didn't see any of his fantasy date overstrikes listed.

Either that or I need new glasses . . . . .

BTW: There seems to be an overabundance of the NorFed strikes in that book. The editors must have been enamored with that series.

BTW2: Those INA Pattern Dollars that are being sold really cheaply on fleaBay are also all listed.

Amazingly, I just received a shipped notice on various canceled die strike items ordered on day one of availability*. Wow! Above and beyond the call, IMO.

*edited to add: also the order that I put in the next day.

PCGS does So-Called Dollars and in addition to the GW and HK listed ones, I see some medals in the pop report from 2020. So there might be a current or future accommodation there. ANACS and ICG both do the Carr stuff. I use ANACS and the market accepts ANACS (and ICG) just fine.

Thanks for the info. The ones I picked up from fellow members were ANACS so I will stay with them.

I do like the Gold Shield PCGS slab but won't get those for one or two coins among many. I like uniformity.

Best Wishes, Dan. Get well & boost that immune system!

Here is the 1908-O Liberty DE. This thing is AMAZING!!!!! I could not be happier, @dcarr did a fabulous job on this (and I can't wait to see the 1848-CAL). Also received my first Daniel Carr signed insert. Outstanding work here.

Fantastic!! I can’t wait for my 184 CALI too………. Ugh….patience, patience

Edited to add……is that the date of the under coin on the insert?
If so, that’s outstanding

Yes, Daniel added the date with his signature. I am so lucky to have this coin. It is my first DC gold. The 1848 CAL will be number 2. I hope to get some of his proof gold at some point (people seem to hoard that).

WOW, pcgscacgold! You were quick on the trigger. I was only able to get the silver among the centennial obv / cancelled S rev ones, and lucky to even grab that one.

Sometimes it pays to not sleep and be up at 4am online shopping

Delivery came. Here is the group of 5 (Brass, Copper, Silver, Morgan, Antiqued) 1884-S canceled die restrikes. AMAZING in hand. Pop numbers on these are crazy low. Sorry, I didn't take them out of the plastic. I will at some point.

Really amazing! Congrats for picking up all these varieties! I really like the way all these came out. It's not easy using old dies designed for different presses but Dan makes it work. He really is a huge asset to the collecting community and much thanks to him on these!

The brass one is super rare. My guess is that only 1 was offered for sale. Dan had two and I have two. Dan generally keeps one of each issue so I assume only one has been sold so far.

I am honored to have the Brass one and the entire set of 5 (minus the 6th one on an Ike that only had 2 minted and none sold).

Thank you for sharing the die and making these possible.

Zoins' Zombie Cancel S Mint $ Die is alive & well as it's made some Colorful Carr Art !

Only 5 of the 1884-S were struck on uncleaned Morgans. Does that mean the same thing as with the Brass centennial piece? Did you keep 2, Dan 1 and maybe only 2 sold of which I have one?

Could be but it's hard to remember now! I need to go look through my pieces to see how they were distributed.

I have a huge fascination with overstriking unclean coins, ever since I picked up the following struck by Dan. The reverse has a really nice mirror finish. Morgan's hair on the Peace Liberty's neck looks nice as well!

That is a great coin. Some day I hope to own one of those with the "Shadow" look on the obverse. I think the two coins overlapped like that is really cool.

A very heartfelt thank you goes to @Bullsitter for this most beautiful piece to enter my life. Thank you again!
1792 Chain Cent O/S on 1816-1856 1c Silver plug. ANACS AU58

I only hope my images Can do justice to this magnificent piece. I think this is one of the top three
if not the top piece of my favorite of all time. You can see the stars very faintly from the under type

I don't think I ever posted this one either.

Impressive coin with only 14 minted. Thanks for sharing.

I hope more people get DC deliveries this week and we get to see the Vintage Die off-center strikes and the one with obverse one date and reverse the other. I did not get any of those.

So what is with the X going through it I would figure you would want it without the X?
