<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bigpoppa, post: 2240617, member: 75271&quot;]Thanks MD</p><p>That picture just happened to be on my phone, but is just a tiny part of my DC collection ..</p><p>I didn&#039;t intend to hijack your thread, but maybe since it&#039;s titled &quot;Another Daniel Carr token for me&quot;, we could use it ,with your permission, to show off our different examples of his work .</p><p>The majority of my collection is in the SDB, but I&#039;ll bring some home and photograph them with Superdaves advice after my new iPhone arrives ..</p><p><br /></p><p>I would like to get much of my collection slabbed by Anacs, but it will be a monumental task as I have so many pieces.. I would rather submit them in person, but unfortunately they seem to travel to every state for shows except the one I live in <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. I live less than 60 miles from the Philly Mint , yet can&#039;t find a show anywhere even remotely close .. Baltimore and Gettysburg are probably the closest and that&#039;s still quite a haul for me as I&#039;m down by the shore .</p><p><br /></p><p>One drawback though with ANACS is that they don&#039;t add some of the variety details to the label as I&#039;ve seen from some examples on eBay . Pre and post finishes are one, but there are others as in the 1910-D Indian , which had a Variety A, B and Prooflike..</p><p><br /></p><p>I feel Dan is an artist and a numismatist and would like to be taken seriously as both .. I believe that one day down the road his works will be catalogued in some guide, besides his own website catalog .The fact that he uses some past artists non-copyrighted designs means nothing to me as he creates a new piece that never existed prior..</p><p>I like the edginess of his work and in some cases the parody , not to mention the extremely small mintage amounts of most designs ..</p><p>I only discovered him 4 years ago, but set out to build one of the best collections of his work . I just wished I lived near the Denver area where there are so many coin clubs and shows where members regularly trade and sell his work including himself .</p><p>Being limited to the Internet and contacts makes the acquisitions that much more difficult ..</p><p>Unfortunately my limited bankroll forced me to miss out on some examples that came on the market and probably won&#039;t be seen again for quite awhile .</p><p>I guess in summation I collect many different things and found Dan&#039;s work to be something interesting and different from the norm ..</p><p><br /></p><p>MD if you don&#039;t have one already I suggest trying to acquire his 2014 Clark Gruber Proof 1/4 ounce token .. That piece is just gorgeous and mirror like in hand , however there are many more I could suggest ..</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve been reading all of the hate on the Internet the past 4 years, so it&#039;s good to talk to other people that truly enjoy what he creates ..[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
