    Stunning, I'm perplexed as well as to how this ended up in the press. Can anybody guess what the VAM would be? image

    According to the HK book, Bashlow (who bought the dies from Q. David Bowers' company, Empire Coin) produced "a few trial pieces in various metals." This is presumably one of those trial pieces.

    Robert Bashlow donated them to the Smithsonian when he was done.

    That is the very first thing that popped into my mind. For some reason I thought that I saw a 1964 ghost date. lol

    Does anyone know what the S is at the 6:30 reverse periphery?

    Very cool So-Called Dollar trial piece!

    the "S" represents Silver and is on the Bashlow restrikes while the Dickeson issues from 1876 in Silver had nothing. there is also a slight difference in thickness between the two.

    The mention of the '64 Peace dollar raised a question in my mind..... I wonder what will happen to the extant piece(s) when the current owner(s) perish. image Cheers, RickO

    You know Ricko, I bet that since 1964, that has happened to owner of one. But I also bet that it changed hands before the demise. Unless it was an untimely death. Certainly something to think about.

    Apparently it was carefully and intentionally crafted that way.
    The perfect upright alignment of the over-strike is evidence of that.


    PS:
    It doesn't have the word "COPY" on it anywhere.
    So where are the folks who usually complain about such things being a travesty ?
    This could fool some novice collector into spending a lot of money on what they thought was a genuine original, right ? (not)
    Personally, I think it is a very neat item.

    Mr. Bashlow used these dies circa 1961, well before the Hobby Protection Act of 1973 required that henceforth imitation numismatic items be stamped with the word COPY.
