    Aside from a chop marked Trade Dollar (never saw two chop-marked coins alike)... I do not think I have any 'one of a kind' coins... Have to think about that...Cheers, RickO

    That would be very cool to provide a big silver dollar and have it overstruck. Glad I saw this. Peace Roy

    Not positive about this one being unique, but with a total graded population of rpm-5 of 4 coins, I'm pretty sure that this is the only one in the terminal die state

    well, Too bad it is not a US note..
    there is ONLY one other known. It is in "jail" at the Canadian currency museum in Ottawa.....and is a lower grade.
    I am thinking of selling it. :)
    wondering where the others are?

    My father is an engineer, and he made it in the 70's by chemical etching. I believe he probably was going to use them as a poker chip. He made a few 25 cent pieces too. He gave them to me some years ago, and i generally carry 1 for luck.

    This sure looks like something struck on a silver planchet.

    The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!
