At my grandparent's house on the dairy (I grew up on the dairy) there was a Lincoln Cent embedded in the concrete (not cement - pet peeve, sorry)...
I don't know how to answer that question. Are you saying that until recently dies that were to be later paired together to strike coins were made...
No, that is not how dies are made. A number of obverse dies are made and stored for later use. Later (maybe earlier) a number of reverse dies are...
Thanks. A couple of years ago I searched for a DVD of 'The Brasher Doubloon' and all I could find was a bootleg version. I don't think it has been...
I apologize for the error in my earlier post and the confusion it caused.
Please explain how "unfinished dies" could cause this effect. At what stage was the die-making process stopped? Remember we are talking about...

Do you know if 'The Brasher Doubloon' is available on DVD?
I have not seen this movie. Apparently it has not been released on DVD. [ATTACH]
The new photos aren't much better but I am sticking with strike doubling (no collector value).
By the way, I don't know if Eliasberg had a complete set of Fractional Gold (doubt it) or Territorial Gold (doubt it) but they would not be needed...
