Now I'am not saying I'am no counterfit pro by any means.OK you could slip a fake 10 dollar bill past me and I would be happy to take it.I also would try and spend it the next day....But Trap I gotta tell ya.Where did you get that one ahh ? The coin on the right,I've seen before.Well maybe not that one.But those coins are for sure from the original batch forged at the lazy B aircraft company.Those atcually cost the B about $100,000.00 for the die to stamp them out.I offerd to by that die for an undisclosed amount of money.But was informed at that time to never mention it again and or may be a good idea to NOT get caught selling them right at that time eather.There were a total of around 50 of them originaly stamped....But I kind of do know them as they were almost a perfect forgery.....but the eye of the bear was missing.........pretty cool to see one of them again...Thank you bowdoc

Crap I almost forgot what I wanted to say...The coins from 1959 1960 1961 most all but not everyone of the 1962's were different matirals ie copper aluminum pewter,but the same coin shape.The releaf (I know thats spelled wrong) type stamped...but any of them could be used as a form for the 1959 type coin.....bowdoc
