Hi everyone, I have updated my Daniel Carr collection with the latest coins and acquisitions, including shifting a few coins to smaller flips for a more consistent look. So here they are, with the first section being listed by date from 1776 to 2024:

So that is the main portion of the collection by date, I hope everyone likes it! Now i wanted to add a few more pictures including some new ones that show how they look as a set of smaller coins. My favorite is probably this set of the St. Gaudens:

This one is for those who love Peace dollars:

Here are some walking halfs:

These are Native coins together:

These are big and small Kennedy coins:

Even a small set of three can look good together:

This is one of large and small mercury heads:

And let's not forget those who like Morgans:

And one more for the times he made circulated coins that looked very old:

These are some Wilson Dollars:

Here Susan B. Anthony meets Eisenhower:

And last but not least we have territorial and pattern coins:

Well, that is the update. Thank you for looking :D

    Can one both admire him as an artist and engineer while still have the majority of his products leave a bad taste. I see a bunch of really well made fakes and some really impressive reinterpretations.

    I guess the grey area is merely a date enough to count as a reinterpretation, not to my line but others can and do disagree.

    I own one of his pieces the, anniversary LSCC medal

    11.5$ Southern Dollars, The little “Big Easy” set

    "You need a "Cal" gold."

    I have one similar that will be posted in a later update. It is not actually struck in gold though.

    "I do have the 1881 Coiled Hair Stella"

    That is a beauty, and I hope he strikes some in Brass. He did strike others for another distributor at one point.

    "Do you have this set?"

    No, I don't have any of the beautiful club medals he has struck yet because my focus is mainly on fantasy pieces.

    He has some really great stuff. My favorite is the 1927 Oregon Trail 50c with its matte-like appearance that is now toned very nicely. Perhaps I will take a picture of it and add later tonite. My other favorites are the Confederate Gold $20 and the "CAL" gold $20.
    His Peace dollars have seemed to progressively improved over the years....

    Love that Milled British (1830-1960)
    Well, just Love coins, period.
