[QUOTE="callmelater, post: 3355484, member: 101295"]Hello... I found this post when searching for others things and i find it very odd.....its not the usual 20$ silver leaf coin release for resale......i see 3 possibilities..... FIRST : a early prototype of the steel master hub before making the final master hub with the final art design.....we can see many differences between your plate and the mass produced leaf coin like the antenna on one tower, littles details for some buildings, the Statue of Liberty torch and her pedestal.........a master hub (raised image) is made with heat treated steel and is use to make very few master dies (incuse image) via hubbing. The master die is then used to form as many working hubs as needed to make working dies for the coining process. That also explain the missing serial number who need to be unique for each coins. Your plate have also a more defined and precise design.....a good clue who indicate its used for a striking process. SECOND : a rare collectible made for VIP peoples of the company who manufactured that product. THIRD : a useless fake.....but a doubt it. I'm pretty sure its NOT silver but if the first theory is correct it maybe more valuable that you thing.....i recommand showing it at professionnals who work in this domain.[/QUOTE]
