It’s one of my favorite commemoratives but there is something about the two Carr versions that made me not want them enough to pick up at issue price. If these fall in the aftermarket I might consider them then. I also like the toned pieces Carr has done over the years and if these were toned, that would have possibly made the difference.
@Orlena said: @U1chicago good luck in your aftermarket search. I never see much ( or any) decline in his issues, but patience is a virtue.
The 1921 Peace is one example…I bought one from Carr at issue price of 145 and then saw them get as low as $90 (I picked up an Anacs slabbed one for more than that but less than the 145).

I saw this one on eBay and just about purchased it. I think it's kind of cool. I am unsure of the mintage though.
That’s the type I was referencing although the one you show is a much more limited version of the original (non double strike). I’m guessing only a handful exist of the double strike.

That is, if any ever appear in the aftermarket, I bet they sell for a premium -- especially if slabbed with MM's typical high MS grade.
That is the mintage so far; it’s not final. And that is already about a 100 each, which is usually more than enough to not bring much of a premium unless it’s a popular design (like a capped bust or an Oregon Trail). My experience with many of the recents releases (last few years) is that they don’t go up. People ask for well over issue price on eBay but the items don’t sell. And when they go to auction, there are opportunities to pick them up for under issue price (like the 1921 Carr Peace which was 145 issue price and would sell at auction for 90-120, even if slabbed by Anacs).
My first Carr's were 1964D's bought 2nd hand off flea bay in 2013 and on. Fun start for me.
Oddly at the moment I have no expanded Carr Art requests.
For years wanted to add a couple or more Cameo 1965D's or P's or S's Peace Bucks as that is wifey's birth year.
From the Mint I bought the 2023 Peace & Morgan proof and reverse proofs. A mixed roll of 20. They all turned out problem free, though laser etched cameo dies are kind of weird. They play well with the Carr Fantasies. $80 to $92.50 a piece for 9/10oz 999 fine. I am sad I passed on their 2021 Peace Unc issues.
Maybe Santa Carr takes requests, that is, if you've been good ?
Finally got around to opening my Carr package from last week. Here are a couple of photos. Looking at other photos makes me realize I need to up my photo game!

I was waiting for a trade Dollar, love the O mint I just placed my order.
I wasnt sure if it would be a provided Dollar, or if we had to send ours in like the seated dollars (I picked up a G4 trade a while back in preparation)
Looks like this offering is for a Carr provided piece through and through...
@7Jaguars said:
Yes, I agree with that and was on the fence so reluctantly skipped the TD. Did get the earlier piece like others. Wasn't the 1793 price also raised?
Same price on the 1793 ($125). I agree with @COCollector: the price increase probably reflects Dan's cost for finding (more) suitable Trade Dollars to overstrike.
I hope my Trade donors do not have plugged holes. From what I've noticed plugged hole remain evident after fantasy dies are applied. I wonder if there are chop marked donors ? I've never considered acquiring Trade Bucks so I am excited to learn about the series.
Anyone have one of these or know where one might be available? A friend of mine is looking for one (specifically this version) and I’d appreciate any leads.

I have a wish list for Dan of future strikings. 1861-D ten dollar gold, twenty dollar gold, 3 dollar gold and quarter eagle coins.
1861-C double eagle, eagle, 3 dollar gold and quarter eagle coins.
1791 half disme same style as 1792.
1794 turban head eagle, half eagle and quarter eagle coins perhaps a double eagle too.
1955 double die cent struck on a silver dime planchett.
.
Hey Big Man.....let me hold a dollar...
I forgot to add 1906 high relief $10 indian and 1921 $10 indian.
I do not believe he would do that due to the legal ramifications. An 1855 DDO Indian Cent might be fun though.

Dan does an awesome job on.peace dollars. I have all the 1964 strikes and some broken swords too.

This might be cool. Quarter Eagle would need to be a small eagle though, and no double eagle.

I'm in for the new dollars. Was on the fence for the Columbia halves but the low mintage got me and the rest of my usual hunt list is pretty dry.
Cool,
I was waiting for a trade Dollar, love the O mint I just placed my order.
I wasnt sure if it would be a provided Dollar, or if we had to send ours in like the seated dollars (I picked up a G4 trade a while back in preparation)

It's all about what the people want...
Trade dollar ordered. What a cool fantasy piece. TC
Buy it now or regret it later.
Love the 420 grains.
Never owned a Trade BUCK.
I am Excited !
Added another Misaligned Obverse Design strike recently for less than $88 delivered.
There's another one on Fleabay in ANACS slab for $799 buy it now.
Happy Shopping !!!
Got a 1793 dollar and the trade dollar. I suggested a few years ago a 1793 flowing hair dollar and glad to see these coins offered.
Hope you got the early bird special: the Trade Dollar is now $425.00 (+$75).
Lame! I had it in my cart and I was on the fence but guess I’ll pass now.
Yes, I agree with that and was on the fence so reluctantly skipped the TD. Did get the earlier piece like others. Wasn't the 1793 price also raised?
Well, just Love coins, period.
So did I. Oh well, back into the slush fund it goes.

I'm guessing that reflects the current price of Trade Dollars suitable for overstrike.
Anyway, I'm just hoping my order arrives in time for Xmas.

I am guessing that there will not be too many Trade dollar overstrikes produced.
When I was putting one in my cart last night, before the price went up, I inadvertently put in 11 instead of one, and it tallied them up.
