Where on the BST might I ask? ( I'm very interested in those )

I think we have an information page somewhere on my website along with an image of one that I own and another that belongs to another collector who also likes em

Yes, we do. Here it is. Any other info ?

Tom, that is really a great article. Thanks for posting it.

Oh and thanks to the OP for bringing up the subject.

There is also a bunch about this in the Lange book.

What is the complete title of the Lange book?

I was an employee of GM, but too late to have participated in the roller press project (I started in 1976). But I have long been interested in these patterns ever since I saw the Coin World article in 1995. I was fortunate to find an example at a local Detroit coin show shortly thereafter and have not seen one since. The coin pictured on mrearlygold's website is my piece.

Anyway, I would love to read what Lange wrote on this topic.

And I keep looking for these. Tough to find and I suspect that most people that have these don't know what they are.
