Picked up a couple of "obligatory" pieces over the past week.
I didn't have anything to represent this area of DC's creations, so I went with a couple of what I consider "half breeds," but the quality and detail of the design and engraving still shines through . . . . . .
They were inexpensive enough.

1622 Atocha Cob - mintage ~6,650
.
Older post but a question. @ZoidMeister Where did you find the mintage figure of 6650 for this one?
As Dan mentioned, at the time that post was made, the quantity was correct.

BUT the best part was this little surprise!
Was the double struck a request or a DC bonus?
.
The store allowed one more order than I had coins to fill those orders.
So I had to fill the last order with something. I had two of the double-struck prices and so I kept one and let go of the other.
In other words, it was a "fluke" situation. It was a true error, but more of an inventory error than a minting error.
. @dcarr - Can you expand a bit on Zachary Askeland's initials (ZA) added to the 2025 Norse American Bicentennial octagon?
.
He is a friend of mine from local coin shows and coin club meetings. He is also of Norwegian ancestry. He proposed that these be made and we split the mintage between us. I sold most of mine (but kept a few examples). Zachary is not selling his. He gave some to extended family members.
We want the .02! “1874” Shield Two Cents. Post, post, post!
We love your work. Can't wait to see what other surprises are in store for 2026. Hopefully some amazing 250 America Anniversary and maybe some Lincolns too!
If I'd known the Norwegian octogen would sell out so quick I would have made that my first purchase. If anyone has an extra laying around let me know!

If someone here needs Dans 1932-S Buffalo Nickel there is one over at NEN. Good luck.

Rumors in my neck of the woods say that Mr. Dan shipped the MCCC pieces....
....YeeHaw !!!

OSU has a 2-game losing streak.
Back from Long Beach an picked this up at the post office.
How do unreleased coins show up here or on ebay faster than on Dan's site?
It can happen once in a while when I sell some at a local coin show before I get around to listing them in my store.
