<p>[QUOTE="davidh, post: 2161405, member: 15062"]That is likely correct, however Q. David Bowers has questioned whether they were clandestinely produced, pointing out that there are several methods by which the coins could have been legitimately produced, for instance they may have been lawfully issued by the Mint's Medal Department "for cabinet purposes," or could have been struck as trial pieces in late 1912 to test the following year's new coinage dies. But Bowers did not entirely discount the private minting theory.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
