Owner Comments
Musante GW-130-R2; Baker-160F. Second restrike. 32 mm. I believe this to be the lead restrike as it was struck on a thick planchet with only a single reverse die break, both indicators that this is the scarce lead striking noted by both Musante and Baker. NGC lists this on the insert as "white-metal", under which lead falls. Also, it has the appearance of lead with a uniform blue-gray color as opposed to the more typical "white" color of (non-lead) white metal.

Musante GW-130-R2; Baker-160F. Second restrike as indicated by the multiple significant reverse die cracks. Struck in white metal. 32 mm. As is typical, the strike is a bit soft in the very center of each side. Otherwise there is little in the way of post-production contact. Each side displays very slight gold-gray coloration atop bright surfaces. The reverse is rotated about 30 degree out of coin-turn alignment. Nice for the assigned grade.

Musante GW-491; Baker-194A. Second obverse. Struck in copper. 28 mm. Number four in a series of ten. Bright flashy orange copper with magenta highlights. Top Pop.
With only ten pieces in the series one might think it is easy to assemble the entire collection but finding all ten can be deceivingly challenging.
