    Grades back from an ANACS submission. Thank you to @Nickpatton for selling me the MS69 DCAM Amazonian Assay Office (mintage 16 with proof-like finish). And thank you to Dan for the wonderful creations!

    What is the "HC" in the superlative column?

    I believe it’s DCAM……. Deep Cameo ‼️👍

    I believe ANACS uses Heavy Cameo.

    I just looked it up...

    DCAM - Heavy Cameo - Contrast - Proof Coins and SMS Coins

    HC is the superlative on the grade report, DCAM is the designation on the label.

    Out of all these DC pieces, is there a way to know which ones are 1/0?

    Not sure that I understand - assuming that you mean graded populations, as in top pop / none higher?

    If so, the ANACS graded pieces can be found in the pop report -> USA -> Token -> Patterns MS (or Patterns proof) -> date -> MM

    ...ANACS graded pieces can be found in the pop report...

    Take these numbers with a grain of salt. ANACS is not very consistent with their categorizations -- some types are lumped together while others are split. I'm betting they're also susceptible to crack-and-resubmit in hopes of an upgrade.

    So if I'm doing this data pull correctly and reading this data correctly, not only is this Red 08-S-VDB Over Struck on a 44 w/rim clip top pop 1/0 for this grade, it's the only one for the series? If I'm using the right terminology. Is that correct?

    It is a pop 1/0 for the 1908-S-VDB Over Struck on a 44 w/rim clip because Dan's production notes verifies it as so.
    The ANACS report suggests that of the 231 high grade 1908-S VDB pieces that Dan produced, apparently only one has been submitted.
    And, the ANACS report suggests that of the 226 bag handled / antiqued 1908-S VDB pieces that Dan produced, apparently only 27 have been submitted, all grading out at 58.

    Agreed. But then one can make a strong case that all population reports, from any TPG, should be taken with a grain of salt.

    In your own post of Dan's production notes. However, the one you posted appears to be old, meaning that I erred. It should be:

    The ANACS report suggests that of the 353 high grade 1908-S VDB pieces that Dan produced, apparently only one has been submitted.
    And, the ANACS report suggests that of the 226 bag handled / antiqued 1908-S VDB pieces that Dan produced, apparently only 27 have been submitted, all grading out at 58.

    FYI, four of the Morgan/Peace High Grade odd dates from this year are currently available. If you missed out before, here's another opportunity.

    I originally ordered 2 of each. Got 2 of each, except the 29-S Peace (only 1 arrived), and that one isn't among the four. Two of each of them are sufficient for me. The second is just in case of a 69 from ANACS on one.

    Are you still missing a "1929-S" Peace that you ordered but did not receive ?

    Saw this over on the USMINT website today‼️

    Back in March, when Jeff Shelvin had his 11th Gathering at Moonlight Mint, we went on a “field trip “ to the Denver Mint, and the Director of the Mint came out to greet us at the end of the tour, and she talked a while about the mint, and she said she was going to share a secret that the public didn’t know, and told us that day back in March that the Mint was planning on making a Flowing Hair commemorative .
    When we got back to Dan’s Moonlight Mint, I saw Dan and told him what the mint director said, then I said,” Good thing she doesn’t know that you (Dan),already beat the Mint on it‼️‼️‼️👍🎯
    She didn’t say it was gonna be made out of gold‼️

  • alefzeroalefzero Posts: 958 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Yeah. The gold one is a COIN, while the silver one is a MEDAL. Legislative semantics are important for them. I have been waiting for them to open up subscriptions ever since it was announced last year. Some are question whether it will come to pass with the volatility of the metals prices and potential supply issues.

    Still show "1792" Flowing Hair over-strike, on USA Silver Eagle Dollar, Antiqued/Matte Finish which I believe is new as well. The other is sold out and limited to 30.

    Thanks for the heads-up. Order placed.

    Love the 1792 Flowing Hair overstrike. Wonderful old-school design.

    Especially glad the 1792's “STRUCK ON A USA SILVER EAGLE DOLLAR” statement is edge marked -- unlike the 1793, which has that statement marring an otherwise beautiful Reverse design.

    And I believe the 1792 is Dan's first time offering a matte finish that's also antiqued.

    ...But this is the first time that I have offered two different antiqued finishes on the same basic item. So I needed to call each one something different this time:

    "Antiqued/Circulated": A brilliant stain piece that is tumbled in a certain way to produce a lightly circulated aged appearance, without getting them all beat up.

    "Antiqued/Matte": A brilliant stain piece that is bead-blasted, with patina applied, and then burnished to lighten the higher areas of the relief.

    .
    Thanks for the correction and for describing the processes.

    Can't wait to see the antiqued/matte in-hand. I'm guessing it'll be my favorite of the three 1792 versions. Certainly it'll be a rarity in my Carr collection -- I've only one other matte piece, a 1964-D Morgan.
