Chopped Triumphs Pillar of the Community United States 562 Posts	Posted 05/15/2022 06:37 am 1884 CC cancelled die overstrikes. Don Schmitz was the first to overstrike the cancelled die 1884 CC Morgan dollar to raise money to renovate the CC building. (More on that here http://goccf.com/t/90896#752839 ) Pictured below are a few examples of the souvenirs he created after finding the cancelled dies while doing the renovations to the old Carson City Mint. (The home of the Nevada State Museum) It's my belief Don used cancelled 1878 CC reverse dies while Dan used 1879-1893 CC reverse dies. Struck on oversized 2-ounce blanks. Daniel Carrs gold 1884 CC cancelled die strike with matching die pair # 37. Same #37 die set overstrike by Moonlight Mint. Have a good day and enjoy!

smuglr Valued Member United States 219 Posts	Posted 05/19/2022 9:33 pm Just started learning of Dan Carr the last year. I share a birthdate with JFK and was the same age as John John. I am told that as a child his assassination affected me greatly. I didn't learn of Dan Carr in time to get the 1963 half dollar (I hope to get one someday), but for now I have this. Apologies for the amateur photos. Report this Post to the Staff

This particular one has a high mintage, I'm surprised it's not seen as much. I still don't have the one that brought me down this rabbit hole. Enjoy everyone! Report this Post to the Staff
