[QUOTE="robinjojo, post: 8339743, member: 110226"]You have what is commonly referred to as a saddleback sycee.

Back in the 1980s to the early 1990s they were quite easy to acquire. I remember visiting my local coin shop one day and there was a small box on the counter with two or three of these ingots. I bought one and probably should have purchased them all, but how was I to know back then?
