catman Rest in Peace United States 954 Posts	Posted 08/14/2005 4:35 pm If I was really pushing it I would say that it could have been a pattern or test coin/medal. However I don't think so. As far as I know the United states has never struck a coin or medal in that fineness of gold. catman Report this Post to the Staff
