64d Peace Dollar... Finally :)

Due to a friend, the top Carr overstrike on my want list is now crossed off. I already have the 65d... I sent him a coin he wanted and told him to just send me something he thinks is fair. Well I didn't expect this! I really owe him one

And for being a bulk-handled this one should grade nicely. It's even my favorite die pair (5) with the RPM!

Hey does your friend have a sister (err I mean another 64D)? Congrats on crossing it off your want list. TC

 

Cool. Looks like it got pretty well "handled," though. I'm getting a 63-64 impression. What do you think?

 

Probably but he won't give them up. I was pretty surprised when I opened the package

 

Should at least 64. Possibly 65 if I'm lucky. Not sure I'll send it in. Maybe though. I can't resist those killer specials if I have enough raw Carr

 

Yeah, I have a ton of Carr stuff to go in, but most of it doesn't fall under the 'dollars and cents' special they have right now. :/ Debating whether to go the certificate route or not.

 

Hey, I'm liking that one. I think they need a little age like that, it dulls the cartoonish look.

 

Mickey Mouse never looked that good Eddy........

 

FWIW, my last submission was one of their "freebies" (which some how still ended up costing >$10/coin), allegedly limited to US issues only, but they cheerfully accepted a Carr restrike as one of my submissions.

 

Nice. I have been looking for a convincing chinese one--- for, um, reasons.

Good thinking posting this too. While all the non-Carr folks are busy with your other thread, maybe they wont come here and muddy up this one. Congrats on the 1964!

 

Did you know Mickey Mouse was named after Mickey Rooney? Walt Disney was initially calling the mouse Mortimer Mouse. Rooney was just a child and Disney was asking him what he thought of the mouse, when Disney got the idea to change the mouse's name to Mickey. I met him at Sportsman's Park, in Cicero. Mickey Rooney, that is, not Mickey Mouse.

 

Big Julie hailed from there (Guys and Dolls).

Never knew that Eddie.

 

Nice one! I see it's die pair 5. Now you need 1 through 4.

 

I was born there. Actually, in Berwyn, but lived in Cicero. But that's something I think you'd know that trivial movie fact. I like Guys and Dolls, too. Sinatra and Brando, how can you not?

 

Another bit of useless information, stuck to the recesses of my mind. Now if only I could remember what I had for dinner last nite.......

 

Glad you have a friend, because I'm no longer your friend until you get ME ONE TOO!!!

Oh what I would have given to have that coin in my exhibition last year!

Seriously, very nice score! Congrats! (jealous grumblings!)

 

Hey, I offered my 65d

 

So, you traded your 65 peace for a 64 peace. I think the 65 is a serious sleeper. Check out this current listing (not mine):

No. I offered to let Brett borrow my 65d to use in his Peace dollar display

 

Such a fine fellow.
