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.
