did you catch this ?

"A portion of the original mintage ended up in the hands of some of Washington, D.C.'s more prominent madams. These same coins had been given by the Mint Bureau to members of Congress."

This could mean a few could be lost somewhere waiting to be found.

An amazing coin, but I need proof. Take a picture for us with you holding the coin, post the photo in this thread and send the coin to the address below, and I will verify the authenticity. Promise I will send it back...
