I think I covered all of metals.... :D Let’s see what you have.

.Thanks to @Lakesammman I have this awesome gold overstrike.
I’m going to try to summarize this one and hopefully I get it right.
.
Ten were over struck on an authentic $10 gold Indian half eagle. Struck at Daniel Carr’s mint. Dies used were
1950 Seattle Coin club medal featuring a large beaver similar to that used on the North West Company token of 1820, and a 1946 Oregon Numismatic Society die pair with the smaller beaver similar to that used with the Oregon Exchange Company $10 in 1849.

    Neat to see the silhouette of the Indian Head and Eagle.

    That coin was struck was overstruck on an Indian eagle rather than an Indian half eagle.

    @ricko Thanks. The pre 1500 AD coins with dates are fun to collect.
