It's been some time, let's see what the Carr Peace dollars are selling for today...

ecichlid · June 9, 2011 1:28PM

$365

$435

$305

A couple predictions did not take place like "these coins will be confiscated by the Secret Service", "Mr. Carr will be arrested" and the classic "These coins will be worth melt".

These coins have VERY LOW mintages. Here's my prediction! Their prices will creep up as new numismatists enter the hobby. They will only go up in price.

I am hanging on to a couple of mine so far . . . . .

No way these can diminish in value . .

Thought I'd use an analogy to make it real . . . . .

There's only two things you can count on... life and death, everything in between is like a DCarr Peace dollar... life began, you grew older, someone made you look younger and then in short order you're forgotten.

The op called them " coins "

WinPitcher · June 9, 2011 2:20PM

Glad you said 'selling for' because the only one that 'sold' was at 305.00

Nice coin, I like it.

Bochiman · June 9, 2011 2:35PM

one sided on this, eh?
They also aren't "selling" for MOON MONEY.

They were a fad and even with a "low mintage", they aren't likely to garner a large collector base.
Play with them, enjoy them if you want, but they aren't mint issued (date/mm/denomination) COINS, and so, for purists, they never will be.

For those that like to play with their imagination, their fine, but it's when the imagination folks try to force them on others with constant barraging of "in your face" that folks get upset.

Broadstruck · June 9, 2011 2:45PM

Give em time as I didn't see Bear adding any of these and he has a clear vision 10-20 years into the future of this hobby!

mrpotatoheadd · June 9, 2011 2:52PM

<< They will only go up in price. >>

If you say so, but plenty of people have said the same about lots of other things, too.

We'll see.

We all began in this hobby/ business because a particular coin caught our eye. Was it the metal that attracted us or was it the design ? I admit it was the design of the Buffalo nickel and the Standing Liberty Quarter that got me going .IMO, the Mint has not encouraged creative sculpting due to the effects on die life (profits). I will admit I am impressed with what Dan Carr has done with SOME of his works. I own a single piece and I can emphatically say I really don't care if I make any money on it should I decide to sell. I appreciate its beauty at any price. Good job, Dan.

pennyannie · June 9, 2011 3:38PM

Those would be the last thing i would buy as an investment, If you bought them direct from Carr you will always do alright. IMO these are more likely to go down in value than up. You just need something else to be the flavor of the month to send these tanking. Now that is said, i have zero against them, just not my cup of tea. I can see some liking them. I would be more interested in what dealers offer to buy them if they will even make an offer.

I agree

Weren't these struck over real coins struck by the U.S. mint? Or, were you just being

ricko · June 9, 2011 11:42PM

I regret not getting one of these when they were first available. Not for value, but because they have caused such a major controversy... I like to be part of such things...

I have other dcarr pieces, but missed the boat on this one. Cheers, RickO

Compaired to those, mine is dirt cheap!!!

7Jaguars · June 10, 2011 1:52AM

An absolutely sensational coin that I love in three iterations. It is rare that I go back and look at coins as mostly they are subjected to being stuck in storage with all the other bits. I have gone back on several occasions and taken a peak at these with pride.

Thanks D. Carr!

Huh? There are several sales pulling up at $435.

I'd sold one for $675 a few months ago, long term I'd say up...

IrishMikey · June 10, 2011 4:26AM

What are you trying to say, Cap'n? That the 64-D $ are so cool and exciting that they are
keeping you up at night? That you have to catch up on your sleep during the day?

Huh? Huh?

timber100 · June 10, 2011 4:40AM

The Bulk handling finish sold for $75 when it first came out. They have sold on ebay for around $300. I wish I could make 4X on all of the coins I have bought.

Did you buy some of the 1975 IKE's RicKo?

If not, they are there waiting for you.

ricko · June 10, 2011 5:18AM

No I did not buy any of the Ike's.... they do not have the allure of the '64's.... Cheers, RickO

JamesMurray · June 10, 2011 5:21AM

I'd forgotten all about them , and there's the problem with them , easily forgettable.I'd be extrememly nervous holding any of them long in regards an investment.

I had to put mine up for sale, CaptHenway threatened to put a horse's head in my bed!!!

MsMorrisine · June 10, 2011 6:27AM

I might get a 75 Ike. It's not as controversial as the 64D's, but still has some humor potential. I wish the font on the date was a better copy of the original, though.

The "197" part is an exact copy of that used on the original Ike dollars. Since no "5" was ever used on an Ike dollar date, I had to "guess". I may tweak it a little bit when I do a "D" and/or "S" mint-mark version.

You could use a 5 off of a 1975 cent, nickel or dime, as Gasparro presumably modeled those.
