Yes it is real,but fairly new,about late 1990s.I own a similar item in silver that has four coins stamped on it,the other coin is a cc half dime rev.I would like to own this one,to much for my pocket,

I think that belongs to a board member, if not there is a member who has one like it. It is a restrike using genuine old CC dies, but it's not really a pattern made in 1884. I've only heard of about 3 of them, Error Dealer Mike Byers had 2 and the said member had 1. Some are copper and some are silver.

Sorry,the other coin is a $5 gold coin.A hole was bored out then plugged with a gold slug then stamped.

DOG..,there are at least three silver slabs with the Obv and Rev of a Morgan stamped on it.

So what are these? Die stampings? - and if so, do the cancellation marks look right?

So were these produced recently from cancelled dies? What would the reason be to do a trail strike after the die is cancelled?

numobri

Yes,novelty items.I like them.Kinda like Gallery Mint stuff.

itsnotjustme they were struck as part of the celebration of the reopening of the Carson City Mint as a museum.
