[QUOTE="Fred Weinberg, post: 3468031, member: 86437"]I've seen a very few number of these with (apparently) attributed gold flakes or a strip like this. The San Francisco Mint was striking $5 Indians and $10 Indians that year, so I suppose anything is possible. In general, however, the Mint(s) tried to keep the gold coin area well away from cents thru higher denominations. I obviously don't know how far away the Gold presses were from the Cent presses back then....... If from a coin, the source would normally be expected to be from a detached piece of lamination - either before or after striking .......this would be 'before striking' imo, if that is indeed the source. Almost impossible to determine, imo[/QUOTE]
