Post your Dan Carr tokens (HERE AND NOWHERE ELSE)!

Penalty nope, bad karma from @C-B-D, yes. At the time there were many separate Carr threads going on at the same time, so CBD made a thread, hoping to free up the coin chat forum. A wise decision IMO.

Also this thread was supposed to help stop the haters from posting negative comments about Moonlight Mint products. I will say that prior to this thread, almost every Dan Carr thread was riddled with arguments.

 

The silver owl is awesome! TC

 

I don't believe in Karma. Hope you guys are enjoying this thread.

 

What comes around goes around then?

 

Yep, because the haters have acquired a very particular set of skills, skills they've acquired over a long career as curmudgeons, and wannabe legal quasi-scholars, skills that make them a nightmare for people like you. Now, if you bow down and admit to them that Dan is a serial criminal, that will be it, they won't further pursue you. But if you don't comply, they WILL hunt you down, they WILL find you, and they WILL troll you. Do you understand?

 

My second order arrived today,but I got to the post office to late.
This one I have to sign for, oh well there's always Monday.
But I did an autographed photo of Vince Papale.

 

The more I look at these eclipses, the better they look. (to me anyway) Besides mintage, what is the attraction of the round-vs-flat edge varieties?

 

If only real solar eclipses looked quite that neat. It's pretty art, but if I see an image that cool on 8/21/17 in the sky, I'll be one amazed pup. The relative sizes of the solar and lunar discs will be rather close. That produces, or can, two things. One is certain, the other is speculative. The certain one is a quite modest length of totality - only about 2 min. 30 sec. or so. The speculative one is we just MIGHT see prominences all around the lunar disc simultaneously, IF we're very lucky. I'll be in Carbondale, IL, with the SIU Salukis. Hey, @dwhiz, if you're interested, I have a cancellation and you're local. You want to tag along to SIU?

 

The flat edge ones were the first strikes (or at least made prior to the round ones). That and the mintage are the two attractions that I can see.

 

So, will you be taking photo gear? I've got a 100-400L that produces an image of the lunar disc maybe 800 pixels wide on my sensor; trying to decide whether it's worthwhile, or whether I should focus on taking pictures of my surroundings, or just put the camera down and experience it. I think the latter seems the wisest course; there'll be lots and lots of other folks taking photos of the event...

 

Looking at both in hand it's hard for me to pick a favorite, I like them both. The design works well with both varieties.

This photo is from Dan's website, not much difference.

 

Both look good to me. BTW, have you weighed that Cobb? My older one is 38 grams, but is not round. Just curious.

 

No I haven't and don't have a scale to weigh it on. I'll take 'em to work and see what they weigh and report back.

Thanks for the offer, I will be moving at the end of July and will be busy with the new digs.

 

I will be preparing several cameras to automate the shooting. One on the sun itself, others recording the reactions, surroundings, and even the weirdest effect - shadow bands crossing the ground. SIU in Carbondale is one of two "official" NASA researcher sites. I'm not sure where the other is. Could be Clemson U. or it could be well west.

All the best of luck on the move.

 

I received my order today. Can anyone else tell me if the solar eclipse one has some rub on the obverse side, on parts of the map of the US? Seems like some parts that are higher kinda are shiny on mine.

 

Fresh from my PO Box

 

Congrats to Danny Carr for more accurately placing the path of totality on his than the Oglala (sp?) Sioux nation did on theirs.
