[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 98387, member: 66"]Problem is those four coins were type I not type II. They were "prototype" pieces struck before the production strikes began in 1975. Since the Type II didn't come until later after the production strikes had been made for awhile they would not have been Type II coins. There is also some question as to whether or not they were silver clad. Some have said that they were, others who have seen them say they were copper-nickel. Just checked Breen, and he lists them as being type I and he didn't know if they were silver or coppernickel. He DOES list a single specimen with a type II reverse in silver clad that was found in a cash register. I may be able to find out some more about that one because he lists its sales records and I know one of the people on the list.[/QUOTE]
