  Cool! I like these, this is my second one. The other one is an NGC MS65 RB, with nice toning I picked up several years ago.
  
  CaptHenway do you know what ever happened to the original reverse die?

  Nope. I assume it was lost, or Collis would have used both dies instead of doing a uniface strike.

  I think these are pretty cool pieces. I bought a copper one from Bowers and Ruddy back when they had that group for $19 each.
  
  There were either 22 or 27 silvers struck, I just bought my 3rd silver one.
  
  Plus, I think there were 3 golds struck, don't have any of those.

  Is the original die or the transfer die (or both) in the ANA museum?
