    I saw a silver on already graded MS70, so I bought it.

    There was a coin club that used the gold Indian design for a medal they just released. Does anyone remember the club name? I put an order in and was supposed to hear from them by now but I haven’t.

    I reserved a couple and they requested a check about a week ago. Sent the check and medals are in the mail. Email came directly from Harold at MCCC.

    @Twobitcollector thanks for the feedback. I bought two silver and had a gold restamped as a 1933. Curious to see the interest in these.

    There is an 1860 Mormon silver half eagle coin just recently done, if anyone can track down the distributor.

    A graded one was posted on Ebay.

    I thought this CC morgan Pattern was done after this J1512, but the reverse is slightly different.

    Yes, the Eagles are different. The one I used is from the reverse of the 1918 Lincoln/Illinois half dollar. I liked it better, and it was a lot easier to get a Lincoln half to use as a model coin compared to one of the original Morgan patterns.

    Thank you @HalfDime and @dcarr for the correction and clarification regarding the inspiration behind the 1877-CC Morgan Pattern Dollar.
    I stand corrected, and have put out a correction video: https://youtu.be/G8PHpRwuDOQ

    Here is a 1963 Scarface Kennedy Dollar, Eisenhower's head left a scar down the front of Kennedy's face.

    This coin has a large mintage of 1,671. I notice on Ebay it appears there are about four other scarfaces listed like this one (along with ones without a scar).

    OK, I see where I was wrong,,,,, Dan's coin is modeled after a 1958 Double Die, not a 1955 coin.

    Yes and the coin lost just a bit of specialness & had hoped the mintage would have been held to 100. Oh well, it looks rather nice.

    Breen wrote long ago he saw like 2 rolls of the previously unknown 58 DDO on a bourse floor late 50's-early 60's when they were all owned by Charles Ludovico who was a former 1958 era Philly Mint employee. Breen recalls the story and names Chas Ludovico in one of the two books I own of his.

    I say:

    Ultimate Shenanigans !
    Observe the initial hoopla over some 35,000 55 DDO Cents, then create a similar die, then strike a couple rolls, then get them out of Mint. Closest things like it, if true, are the five 1913 Liberty Nickels originally owned by a ...
    Philly Mint Employee

    I am guessing more orders are for more than one of Daniel's 58D VDB Wheatie DDO fantasy ?
    I have three incoming.

    The seller had about 6-7 quarters and that one was the first one sold.

    I came very, very close to buying it.

    But why hasn't Dan made any clashed Peace dollars? Maybe we'll see 'em someday.

    I've got my 1958 DD and like it a lot. Quick question for Dan if he reads this: how do you prep copper blanks before overstrikes and do you rinse before and/or after (if so what with?)?

    I reached out to the Seller on Ebay but didnt get any kind of response..

    If you happen to strike some on blank gold planchets and offer them to the public I would be interested in one.

    If not no worries, I've missed out on a number of $5 issues over the years due to various reasonings,

    Happy Collecting folks!

    .

    The host cents are cleaned via a mild abrasion process. There is no rinse.

    However, if one develops a mild spotty discoloration, a brief soak in clear vinegar (followed by thorough rinsing) should cure it.
