<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 3184117, member: 19165&quot;]In the 19th century, they made all sorts of trial and pattern strikes on all sorts of unusual metals. This coin was one piece of a 16 piece full mint set made in aluminum, made at the special request of the head of the Mint. It was intended to be a gift to a foreign mint, and a few extra sets were made. Read the Heritage auction above for more information about this particular set. A couple of the sets have been broken up, but that one remains in its original case. I got to see it at a show a few years ago, and it is simply spectacular.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
