Thanks, guys. And nice pic, nickelsearcher! Quote:
I'm just not sure I'm ready to put down $300 to participate in the "fantasy." Yes, it was a bit high compared to the typical Daniel Carr fantasy piece, but with the limited edition and it being graded and encapsulated (even though it was by ANACS), I thought it was OK. However, as soon as I saw it and read about it, I had already pretty much made up my mind I was going to get one, even before I saw the price...  When I get it in I'll post a side-by-side pic with my actual Lexington commemorative in my set... |

I may have to see about getting one of Daniel Carr's Oregon Trail issues. I see the "1848" Oregon Trail struck on a Silver Eagle is readily available, but the "1927-D" overstruck on an Oregon Trail half only had a mintage of 62 so probably a bit tougher to find. I'd much prefer the 1927-D if I can come across one, though...

This is part of what has made me hesitant about purchasing one of these Lexington-Concord pieces - as dedicated to the series as I am, I know that if I buy one I'll likely pursue all of Carr's commemorative coin Overstrikes! And I don't want to do that! I purchased Carr's "1975" Bicentennial Overstrikes because they filled an actual gap - the Bicentennial designs were struck in 1975 as well as 1976, but only the dual-dates "1776-1976" appear on the coins. I liked the 1975 aspect of the Overstrikes. (My Carr Bicentennial pieces: 1975 Daniel Carr Bicentennial Fantasies.) Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.

Here are a couple of quick pics I made after receiving the Lexington piece today. I may try taking separate pics of the two coins tomorrow, as the very different surfaces and holders made it a little tough to take the pics together. And, for some reason I switched the position when I flipped the coins over...  It'll at least give an idea of how they compare...   |
