so the last inclusion...(3rd pattern)
is it reversed like that as if

this post is growing in amazing ways here
The Intaglio is incuse and inverse. It is made from a master die and is what a working die would look like.
If you used this coin to make an impression in clay, it would look just like a regular coin. The mint was exper4imenting with anti counterfeiting

What a great group of coins. We hardly ever get to see such coins with good photos much less these.
Thank you for sharing, James. Even though I have a couple of Pattern Books I did not know these existed.
I guess I should read a little more, huh?
Again, thank you,
