I just read that line in the newspaper clipping reporting that the Mint Director thought

Quote:

The new dollar could become the workhorse of American Colinage.

Hey folks, thats the Sacagawea buck he's talking about.

He'd be right if they'd just dump the $1 bill!

nevermind, you're right, that's not gonna happen!

I can't say enough good words to describe this coin fully, and hope all of you have the opportunity to see one of them in your collecting experiences. It will be placed with the rest of the families collection as the location where it all got started, over a hundred years ago. What beautyful coins! Wow!
Cant wait until the next design Daniel comes up with. It will be worth watching for in the future.

Thanks Daniel

Thanks !
I've got many more items in the works for future release.
Like state quarter items, for example.

If I had the money, I'd snatch up everything Daniel Carr has ever designed or signed. I've got both Freedom Tower dollars that he designed, which were excellant. It's too bad the NCM didn't let him use his preffered design for the tower. To go a biut further, it's too bad the LMDC and Silverstein didn't use his idea for the actual site it's self.

Anyway, can't say enough about how good these designs are. I'm looking forward to future offerings as well.

Just wanted to report I got the Denver Mint medal coins in both Brass and Silver in the mail today and they are amazingly good quality! He also ships them packaged very well! I normally don't collect commemoratives but these just really caught my eye!

Thanks and I look forward to your next designs!

PS: Any word when you'll announce the mintage of these?

The initial mintage was 100 silver and 150 brass.
If I make a second run, the die will probably first have some modifications, and as a result, the difference between the first and second runs will be visually apparent. The second run may be something like 150 silver and 50 brass, but that hasn't been determined yet. I'll probably mint as many as are sold in calendar year 2006, and close the ordering window on December 31. That's the current plan, anyway.
