Blackhawk Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Here's another curious piece. It's from the Citizen's Executive Committee, District of Columbia...there's a 1871 date on the lower ribbon. The lettering of the top half of the piece is repunched and exhibits quite a spread. It's 35mm in diameter and appears to be copper or bronze. The reverse is either coated with solder (it seems a bit thin though), or it's a uniface piece that was soldered onto something - or maybe there's another explanation for the silver colored reverse that's devoid of detail. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
constanius Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Looks like it is a lead filled electrotype. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
