Mr. Spock stopped by the house a couple months ago with a couple of sets of blank ASE dies. We beamed up to the Enterprise and wiped though a black hole to 1906. There were we had George Morgan add the 1906 date to the dies and had few pieces struck for us to take home. Here is one of them.
Something went wrong on our trip back. We again landed in Philadelphia, this time in 1908. We didn't want to bother George, so we went to Charles Barber instead. He was unimpressed by the design. It too much like St. Gaudens' work to him. He had the coins struck though, just for us. I second trip on the time continuum and I was fortunate to get back to my own time with the coins in toe.
What do you guys think? Will PCGS certifiy these coins? They certainly are unusual.
Cool !!!
Sure they will! I think every collector has dreamed of time travel and the possibilities.
I think the 1908 is the rare variety with the reverse of 1907 and prior.
Paper money eventually returns to its intrinsic value. Zero. Voltaire. Ebay coinbowlllc
Sigh. More cheap knock-offs/counterfeits...

I don't care what date they are as long as they contain an ounce of silver.
Don't hold your breath. You would be lucky if it was pewter or nickel instead of lead or some other cheap base metal.
They don't.
That is a slippery slope because back in the day, when there was a shortage of bullion related coins were in short supply, counterfeits with full weight and purity were acceptable. I don't think we as, collectors, want to go there.
On some Chinese calendar this may be 1903.
Adolph Weinman and John Mercanti were true visionaries. Are those patterns?
And drop them on a hard surface - they go 'thunk'....
Where are these listed? Ebay? Such a shame... Cheers, RickO
at least we know it, fwiw
Finally ASEs have true key dates.
Wow! That rarity would have completed the type set I saw for sale at a flea market in North Africa. That set even had the 1875 Washington quarter!
