Doyle was Coin Replicas. Talented. The individuals bolded are well known numismatic researchers, dealers, attorneys.
Okay, after going back and looking... that explains a lot about the trouble I had trying to track down bugs in code today.
@Insider . . . . . I got a little bit closer to finding my answers AND I discovered that these strikes have already been attributed and cataloged by Krause. Here are the fruits of my research . . . . . posted on another site. =============================== I was just edjamacated to the fact that ALL of the Pattern Reproductions above are actually listed in Krause's Catalog of Unusual World Coins - 5th Edition, and thought those who expressed a mild interest would like to know. I don't (yet) have a copy of the 6th Edition, but in the 5th Edition these are located on pages 560-561, preceded by a bunch of Daniel Carr's pieces and followed by a couple NorFed strikes. There is acutally a huge NorFed section pages 550-555. Yeah, I recently picked up my first NorFed as well. There are just too many of those out there to start going down THAT rabbit hole . . . . . . . Z
