A very interesting piece available at Heritage

I thought this is a very interesting piece. I wonder what this will go for. Is this a pattern? A bi-metalic composition trial piece?

Remarkable. The planchet was one size on the obverse and a different size on the reverse. I have never seen such a combination.

Wrong URL for pictures, it won't sell.

PCGS sure did a sloppy job on the label on that 28-S Peace.

That's the famous Peace copper. Hasn't been on the market in a long long time if ever.

I wonder how the mint achieved the different planchet size from ovberse to reverse?

zzzz

I've heard rummors that the mint did try to incorporate worm hole technology into their minting process in the late twenties. My source, whom I can't divulge here because he/she requires complete anonymity, has told me that the mint did produce one prototype which had the obverse of a Peace Dollar and the reverse of a one cent piece. The Reverse was accomplished by useing a worm hole and in reality the reverse is really in another dimension and was found to be unstable. Thus the only one prototype. The rumor is the coin disappeared in the 40's where it was being stored near Rosewll, New Mexico. Now after all these years it has finally reappeared.

I too really doubt this numismatic wonder will ever make the auction block as the men in black and thier black helicopters have probably already desened upon the Heritage compound and siezed the coin. But at least we saw a picture of the elusive coin.
