[QUOTE="ZoidMeister, post: 7976321, member: 114169"]Wow, you got a whole roll of them . . . . ! Those are Landis Studios "mules" . . . . . The silver was supposed to have been minted with a 1913 date. The GOLD Indian Head tribute coins were minted with a 1912 date. What you have multiple of (and I only have one) is a "mule" strike. The obverse die is from the gold design die pair, the reverse is most likely from the silver die pair. See the screen shots from the Landis Studios website below. You can also see differences in the font of the LIBERTY. The gold uses a much finer lettering than the silver die did. Hang onto those . . . . (or sell me a couple more for my collection) . . . . . I wondering if they have any more of this error coin in stock? I am guessing that whatever production run they needed to make that day were all struck with this die mismatch.
