There are a few new offerings (not gonna call them coins, cause some of yall will whine ) on his site. Included are a proof-like morgan, and a 3 ounce bar with a production of only 36! I made sure to buy a few of those, so there are less than that remaining. Just FYI! http://www.dc-coin.com/
"A fool and his money are soon parted." I'm just kidding. Collect what you want. Just be responsible with your overstrikes. Label them well for the next generation.
Aside from the obvious star of the offerings in the PL over-strike, the hologram bars and palladium look interesting. The gold owl would be nice to own but being gold certainly puts a dent in the wallet
I don't like the first bar... looks odd or cheap to me with the pattern. The second with the lower mintage looks interesting though, so I got a few. I was tempted to get a few gold coins, but might wait until he makes a re-strike in gold.
That was my thoughts exactly about the bars. The one with the 36 mintage jumped out at me while the other I just didn't care for. I went for the palladium as well and was considering one of the 1/4 oz golds but probably will hold off for a re-strike for that like you
The only fool is the one not buying Seriously though, whoever got CBD for secret Santa PLEASE get him a DC overstrike
So does anyone know anything in regards to the mintage's beyond a limit of 1,964 across all finishes?
Unlike the blasted US Mint......which sets limits (so called) but lists offerings as 'unlimited'. I can pick a winner, so it don't affect me at all......
OK maybe you don't understand English but it's 1,964 across all three different finish types so how many of finish x, y and z = 1,964
I usnderstand English just fine but your question I guess could have been interpreted multiple ways. Anyway, to answer that, it's an unknown until they all sell out and Dan publishes the final mintages of each
His mintage figures on the webpage show 892 of the normal produced so far. So you can subtract that from the total allowed. 110 of the PLs so far. I would suspect that unless something happens to the dies or he is going to do a third finish offering that he may just let it run to the total and that buyers will determine what the mintage of each are by what they purchase.
As a side note only 14 of the 3 ounce hologram bars with the mintage of 36 are left the last time I checked. Also only 5 of the pallidum left in stock. Not sure if anymore will be made @dcarr
@baseball21 thanks also for anyone else interested, what he was referring to with the mintage numbers are here http://www.moonlightmint.com/blog_18.htm. Kind of interesting that he's produced roughly 5x as many high grade ones versus bag handled (high-grade:691 bag-handled:137). Thanks, and apparently as baseball mentioned the production blog does seem to indicate how many have been produced of each thus far.
That seems to be the norm if you go back through old ones and look. I actually cant recall one where the bag handled outsold the high grade off the top of my head or where it was even close
Where are you seeing maximum mintage on palladium, and where are you seeing current numbers made on the bars? I cannot find either.
