[QUOTE="CappedBustDimes, post: 778061, member: 9104"]Nope, a collector/specialist from the midwest was the winning bidder. Also, these are completely legal to own and use despite conder's previous post. These were used to make the copper "dies" for printing blocks. More than likely would have been used in a price guide but could have been used in a catalog or reference book. The ebay seller did a disservice to himself by scrubbing the faces...probably would have gotten 2x the closing price. These molds are pretty difficult to come by..I usually see one or two a year. The copper printing blocks are scarce but, when offered are usually sold/ found in groups. Here is my 1818 $5 gold Half Eagle printing block and a 1794 1/2 Cent block.
