I read about the existence of two bronze patterns pieces, also a trial piece in copper, so do you think it's possible that this was a silver pattern? Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15400 Posts	Posted 04/10/2024 6:34 pm to the CCF I've never heard of pattern pieces for these issues, but also not an expert on them. Ask that you provide some info ... diameter directly across opposing flat edges and weight in grams to 0.01 resolution. Then we can start a discussion on what you may have. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95322 Posts	Posted 04/11/2024 7:56 pm I have never seen this one before - are you sure it is silver? do a ' tissue test' for us if you are able (outside of the 2x2 if possible) Collecting since 1972.

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5770 Posts	Posted 04/18/2024 8:31 pm Cointageous stated my thoughts. It's probably a copy/counterfeit. Have you had it analyzed with an XRf to see what the metal content is? Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
