I think I would buy one if it was more similar to a peace or morgan overstrike.. in other words, not wings or shield, overstruck on an original with just a fantasy date.

 

I like wings

 

I got 2 out of 3, that's not bad.

 

I have looked high & low for this coins birthplace. No Joy!!!
Maybe it’s a D.C. coin???

 

The O/S on an original Saint has my attention.
I'd chop off my little toe for a triple struck sun........did you hear that Dan?

 

Dan did do a fantasy proof overstrike for that unreleased year, but I haven't seen a reverse proof for that year. May not be Dan's. ????

 

Maybe it’s the wine, but that 9 in 2009 looks a bit funky to me. TC

 

That is not one that I produced.
It appears to be an ordinary 2009 Silver Eagle that was heavily polished, then had a mask applied (to cover some of the devices), then sand-blasted, then the mask removed.

 

Sorry but I wouldn't trade one for your little toe, or even your whole foot

At this point I don't know if a "MCMVI" Winged Liberty over-strike on a normal Saint-Gaudens would even work. But I will give it a try once I get a couple to test with.

 

I am going to try the "1934" as a fantasy-date over-strike. I already have the dies. But I don't know yet how it will turn out. If it works, I will make that one a product.

PS:
I won't be doing any of the "1933" over-strikes because one of the originals has been issued by the US Treasury. I could do a gold "1933" struck on a 1-troy-oz 999 gold blank if I used either the "DOUBLE EAGLE" or "NOT LEGAL TENDER" reverse die. I wouldn't do a "1933" with the "Twenty Dollars" reverse. But I will attempt a "1934" over-strike using the "TWENTY DOLLARS" reverse die.

 

Very cool! any idea on price yet??

 

I won't decide that until I see how they come out (and how hard they are to produce). If it appears likely that there will be a lot of rejects to scrap (melt) along the way, the price for issued pieces will be higher.

 

I just picked up a few MS63 graded Gaudens while ebay and apmex had a good deal going on...

 

It has a train, I couldn't resist, made offer and it was accepted.
Sell claims "26 of them were burnished to have a circulated appearance"
Who knows. Hey maybe @dcarr

Sellers image, I'll do mine upon receipt.

 

I like it and also thought about buying it as well. I passed though because there is no listing of any "burnished" versions on the Moonlight Mint website. Did you get a certificate with it? Hope @darr says it's a rarity and not "burnished" post Moonlight Mint. TC

 

Another one for sale:

Ended up getting the last 3 to complete the Merlin Set I wanted to build. One each of the copper and brass, all of the silver pieces including the Morgan and Ike O/S pieces, totaling 12 Merlin Tokens.

These are my photos of the last 3 coins still in the original flips. Took a little over a year to complete it. Off to ANACS next month.

 

I'm taking a pass on this one.

 

Circulated 1915 Set:

1915-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar

No editing, what you see is what it be like......should have used the tripod....
I see a belly button.
