Dan Carrs latest

It is kind of strange though. The package got to my city on 12/4. Since then about this time every night (just got the text) I get a text that says in route, arriving late. Tracking says it’s here in my city. Are they driving it around showing everyone DCarrs creation?

If not too inconvenient I suggest you go to your local post office and tell them that the show is over, you want your package.
(Sometimes registered mail ends up sitting in the post office vault waiting for someone to come sign for it).

That is exactly what happened to me. I called the registered cage and he confirmed he had it in his hands, The postal manager suggested he was lying. I wondered why he would lie about that and invited the manager to check. He had to walk 200 yards across the plant.... retrieved my Carr Parcel and then apologized. It seems only certain people can handle certified pieces and they must sign a custody form. so it often sits waiting.

Damn you @ZoidMeister !

There all nice looking as usual but, the 2018’s are both my favorites. I just love them.

And her sister.

Excellent Double Eagles!!

And then this one. This thing is hammered @dcarr . LIBERTY is full. This coin is amazing in hand. The old 1875 date is there and what is really cool is the S mint mark shows (so the CAL gold was used). Daniel, your work is outstanding. I can't wait to see what 2022 brings.

And then the sisters side by side.

That’s exactly what attracts me to that one. It’s incredibly cool with the metal flow lines.

@ZoidMeister - all of those KOCT issues are beautiful, but to my eyes, the non-perfectly-round 2018 with toning and starburst effect on the obverse is a stunningly beautiful piece or art! Thank you for sharing the images.

@coinsarefun said:
@pcgscacgold congrats on yours finally being delivered to you and it looks beautiful!

Thanks. It was off the grid for a bit but made it. Well worth the effort s on this one.

The mail carrier loved the stamps on the envelope. She mentioned them when she handed me the envelope.

ANACS grades are in

Now my ANACS grades are in. Interesting how a couple were attributed to a specific date. I will have to look closer at the two that have dates and see if that shows in the shadows. I didn't see 1896 prior to sending.

Were the two AU58s antiqued? Aside from those, it looks like 69 is the grade for the cancelled die strikes.
Both of my Oregon Trails got 70s.

The one 58 was the Pop 5 1884-S O/S on uncleaned Morgan. The other 58 was the Antiqued Centennial piece. I was hoping for a 70 on the Brass and Copper but oh well. These are good.

Spectacular news! I’m so happy they are grading them as such.

Oct. 15 PCGS logged in three Die #6 Peace dollars I sent in for grading. After reading the thread @philographer made on the success of his submission I had to try.
https://forums.collectors.com/discussion/1057239/my-daniel-carr-1964-d-peace-dollars-have-been-graded-by-pcgs#latest
He sent in two Die #5’s and one Die #6. Mine were the High Grade High Luster, High Grade PL and the Matte Proof.

Today I received the grades. Much better than I expected.

I guess I'm behind the times, but when did PCGS start grading Carr items?

I believe PCGS is grading coins that were listed in the Krause Publications, which included some early Daniel Carr pieces as well as some of the 1964-D Peace Dollars

I hear you have to reference the Krause number that is assigned to individual coins when submitting to PCGS.

I want to say the 5th or 6th publications were the last issues so anything newer than that coming from the moonlight mint isn’t being slabbed by our host at this time.

I bet it was a lot of work to carve a buffalo on the reverse of a Jefferson nickel

Slab Errors anyone?

I ran across a few interesting listings on fleaBay this morning. A seller had posted a few "certified" hobo nickel tokens. Each of the slabs pictured below has at least on "attribution error." Can you tell what they might be?

BTW: these errors were not made by this forums sponsor.

I left the fact that it's a GMM item for someone else to find but it's early on a Sunday and most people are still sleeping.

Best Daniel Carr listing I've seen on fleaBay yet . . .

Oh,

I also noticed that the hobo nickels were Gallery Mint items slabbed as being Moonlight mint produced.

Does anyone have a picture of an ANACs slab with a correct label for the GMM Hobo Tokens? Do they normally slab them?

Thanks

(mailer pic removed)

Here I was cleaning up old mailers yesterday and thought of you zoidmeister when I ran across a Carr mailer with stamps all over it.

I remember you saying you collect these so how about a true Christmas special?

PM me a good address and it’s yours…

Hey @LukeMarshall, I can take all the stuff off your hands that came inside the envelopes. Might as well do a deep clean while you are at it. Think of all the room you would get back.

I did make some of the OHNS annual tokens. But none of those shown are ones that I made. I produced them for OHNS from 2013 through 2018. Those that I made are shown at the bottom of this page: moonlightmint.com/dc-coin_medals_club_A.htm .

Of those six years that I minted, the designs that were my own are: locomotive (2014 reverse, 2017 reverse); coal car (2016 reverse); standing Bison (2018 reverse).
