1940's Brass Slug, The Days of '49, Blunt 4 J-640 HK-502A PCGS64
The blunt 4 is a variety that is up to 5 times rarer than the regular 4 in the date

First one I picked up raw a few years ago.

@Goldminers , I used to have one and been thinking maybe I should get another to go with my so called slugs.
It might make a nice additions. Yours is a super nice example.

I’ve always like that one. I have one and one artificially toned. I need to look for them and post them

coinsarefun · April 9, 2022 12:25AM

I found both but, now need to see if his original (not at’d) is toning or not.
The AT’d one is still very pretty but I don’t remember the company that did it.

Been meaning to post this one for a while. Most I've seen have been unengraved on the reverse.

I wonder who Greeley is?

I made those as a commissioned item. Most of them have a color antiqued finish like the top one. The general coloring ranges from reddish to aqua. About 2,000 were produced with that finish, which I applied. A smaller quantity (about 100 pieces) have the brilliant satin (uncirculated) finish.

Oops sorry Dan, I don’t know why I thought another company did it but I like both.
