A single die pair across is being created with a maximum mintage of 950 across both individual and bulk handled specimens. And let's see if this thread can go without anyone fussing over Daniel Carr's work! Report this Post to the Staff

ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4415 Posts	Posted 04/26/2014 9:31 pm Here's a link to the 1965-D: http://www.dc-coin.com/1grabenercoi...ice-1-6.aspx I like his work. It's all a matter of collecting preferences. I tend to enjoy that which is uncommon and not in the mainstream. My guess is that, a few hundred years ago now, there were some who looked with disdain upon Brasher doubloons and Fugio cents. Carr's work is beautiful, IMHO, and sales suggest that there are many collectors who find it appealing. While the Carr pieces won't circulate, they are, in effect, specie ... worth their weight!

Matteproof Pillar of the Community Korea, Republic Of 1881 Posts	Posted 04/27/2014 08:16 am I like Carr's work. The design looks very accurate and full with detail. If only the price was half of that....the price seems a bit on the steep side for an overstruck fantasy Peace dollar. Report this Post to the Staff
ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4415 Posts	Posted 04/27/2014 10:45 am I agree that the price does seem high, yet the host coins likely cost Mr. Carr in excess of $20 apiece; this, with their being higher grade silver dollars. Also, demand for his 1964 dated dollars was apparently strong, and buyers, now re-sellers, are profiting on those. As a parallel, consider the fact that an attributed merchant counterstamp on an old dollar can easily add $100 to the host coin's worth. Then too, look at the prices which modern-made Hobo Nickels are realizing; yet, another unusual branch on the numismatic tree. A few years from now, as has been the case with many of Mr. Carr's artful creations, there will doubtful be many collectors who will regret not having purchased one ... The old adage of "you snooze, you lose" then comes to mind. As his artful work becomes more widely known and appreciated, demand will undoubtedly rise. Report this Post to the Staff
dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 04/27/2014 11:00 am The link is for the "individually - handled" coins that are described as MS67 quality. It seems like a decent price for something of this quality to me. Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36514 Posts	Posted 04/27/2014 11:59 am The price he charges is very reasonable when you add in all his costs to make these, not including the time it takes. My guess is he is not making alot of money on them when all is said and done. Report this Post to the Staff
