Infamous Freedom Tower Silver Dollars - new virtual exhibit

I've received numerous inquires requesting inside information regarding the "Freedom Tower Silver Dollar" coins and related items. That's because I had something to do with the creation of them, unfortunately. So rather than repeating my self over and over again, I've put together a virtual exhibit that illustrates the different issues (and there are more different varieties than most people are aware of).

PS: I do not buy or sell these, except on occasion when trying to acquire one of each type or to dispose of duplicate samples.

I'm not sure if anyone remembers my thread 'Skyscrapers on Coins'

Also the design of the Freedom tower on the coins is not the one that's being built.

So they're pretty stupid, you will end up with a building on a 'coin' that's never going to be built.

 

I disagreed with NCM's marketing campaign that was associated with these items, but it's still a nice design, Daniel. You do very good work and I like all your designs especially many of the State Quarter designs that were not chosen. You're very imaginative and EXTREMELY talented!

I really liked your proposals for the SAC Dollars. Did you create any proposals for the new Presidential Dollar series?

Keep up the good work!!!

 

That is a beautiful coin the art work is just wonderful a great design :thumb:

 

Thanks. Yes I did create some concept president dollars. But I was contracted to design them by a private company, so they will be in charge of unveiling/releasing them.

 

Could you make a coin with me on it?

 

I could make a coin with anyone on it. Even myself

 

:mouth: LOL :mouth: , that's so cool

Neat Post

Thanks,
Here is one of the other sides:

 

LOL, so true :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

 

Any more?

Do you do these on PhotoShop?

 

No, these are real die-struck "coins" made out of copper-nickel, about the same size as a real quarter.
I've done 14 states so far as parody quarters. Eventually, I'll do all 50. Here are a few more (all have the same reverse side with me on it):

 

Mr. Carr is currently working on the 2007 Knights of the Coin Table silver medallion. Lots of folks are waiting for the final design on this very very limited medallion. Hope he finds time to show it around here as well as other forums. I can't wait!!!

 

Dan, Can those coins be bought. I NEED tha NY coin.

Discuss such things by PM or email please.

 

Absolute Genius ! ! !

 

I have so many opinions about this Freedom Tower that I can't even express them all...

I can sum it up as saying they needed to rebuild the towers virtually as they were, and it should have been finished 3 years ago.

Towers like that take years to build...

I do often refuse to call it the Freedom Tower as it's so stupid.

I guess maybe to rebuild them as they were, they would have just ended up a painful reminder.



Those quarters are hilarious, See Post #14

Would be a fun thing to have.

 

Oh boy those are a hoot, please show us any others that you have done :hail:
