[QUOTE="Numismat, post: 2621073, member: 15019"]Purchased this cool little piece from a member on another forum. I believe they posted it in the US coin category here as well not too long ago. Appears to be struck from a hand made die that is somewhat crude, but not too bad. Was originally gold gilded and has some remaining traces of the gild. I find these to be much more interesting than transfer die copies. There is a test punch to the right of the bust/date, so this one was caught and luckily not destroyed. [USER=70583]@jwitten[/USER] have you seen many of these in your quarter eagle collecting days? :) [IMG]http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii314/Numismat/29606196-9FF0-428C-A96C-DB1DF7522FC0.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii314/Numismat/3B9FD4F9-0F15-469A-9217-03778235FA44.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
