<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brg5658, post: 2838089, member: 29751&quot;]It appears in the Krause catalog under the &quot;Medallic Coinage&quot; header.&nbsp; These are hard to &quot;place&quot; in terms of their <i>official-ness </i>as patterns. Based on the look of them, I personally think they are probably <i>fantasy-type </i>coins.&nbsp; Sedgwick <a href="http://auction.sedwickcoins.com/Dominican-Republic-obverse-die-for-100-gold-pesos-pattern-1980-X-canceled-rare_i24551108" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://auction.sedwickcoins.com/Dominican-Republic-obverse-die-for-100-gold-pesos-pattern-1980-X-canceled-rare_i24551108" rel="nofollow">sold the obverse cancelled die in May 2016</a>.&nbsp; Official government dies are quite rare, so I&#039;d lean toward again the unofficial non-government issued <i>fantasy</i>. </p><p><br /></p><p>In the end, I don&#039;t think it really matters one way or the other.&nbsp; There <i>is </i>a collector base for this type of material.&nbsp; Like I said, I have more than 100 fantasy British crown pieces -- one example in copper sold in a PCGS holder for &gt; $650 -- of a type I have multiple examples of that I paid &lt; $25 each![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
