I have no idea what it is, and she only sent a reverse pic. can anyone identify it? I'm assuming it's a commemorative of some kind. I've never seen it before. Report this Post to the Staff

Based on the final prices of many ebay "Sold" lots, I would say there is definitely a market for Carr pieces. It does appear, however, that the market is strongest for his fantasy over-strikes on genuine US coins vs. most of his pure fantasy / concept pieces (though there are exceptions!). Each piece has a limited mintage, so he doesn't over-saturate the market - this keeps many collectors interested. I know of one collector near me that has a near complete set of Carr's over-struck coins. Me, I appreciate what he has been doing but haven't been a regular collector. I have one set of his fantasy over-strikes; I've posted about the three-piece set here: 1975 Daniel Carr Bicentennial Fantasies. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems.
