YOU'VE
YOU'VE SEEN THIS ON AIR. >>HOST: WE DO NOT HAVE
PATTERN COINS ON HER PAT
VERY OFTEN, IF THERE WAS
ANOTHER ONE, WAS ANOTHER
PROBABLY 15 YEARS AGO.
THIS IS YOUR TIME TO DO
WHAT WE WANTED TO SHOW I
THIS IS YOUR TIME TO DO WHAT WE WANTED TO SHOW IT
TO YOU EARLY AND SHARE
ANOTHER GREAT PATTERN
POINT, SO YOU CAN SEE
>>GUEST: THE PATTERN IS
THE SAME, THAT IF YOU'LL
NOTICE IT IS NOW 73%
COPPER, 24% ZINC, 2%
NICKEL, AND 1% MANGANESE
COPPER, 24% ZINC, 2% NICKEL, AND 1% MANGANESE.
>>GUEST:
>>GUEST: IF YOU CAN LOOK AT THEM YOU CAN SEE THE
DIFFERENCE OF THE
COMPOSITION, THIS IS
LITTLE THAT WRITER OF A
COIN. SO THIS IS THE CO
ONE THAT IS THE REGULAR
PATTERN COIN. THESE PAT
WERE THE PATTERNS, THE
FREE COINS FOR THE
SACAJAWEA GOLDEN SACAJAW
DOLLARS. IN OTHER WORDS
THEY USED THESE TO TEST
WHAT I'M GOING TO DO IS
FLIP THIS ONE OVER SO
THAT WE CAN SEE, IT IS
THE PREQUEL THAT IS IN
ESSENCE WHAT IT IS FOR
THIS, IT IS THEY STRUCK
THESE BEFORE THEY STRUCK
THE SACAJAWEA TO TEST TH
THE COMPOSITION THIS IS
THE FINAL COMPOSITION
THAT THEY USE. RIGHT
THERE, I BELIEVE THEY TH
DID THAT COMPOSITION, DI
AND THEY ENDED UP AND TH
PUTTING MANGANESE IN THE
COIN. I DON'T THINK COI
THAT THERE IS ANY DOUBT
ABOUT THAT.
ABOUT THAT. >>GUEST: VERITY OF THIS
IS VIRTUALLY
IS VIRTUALLY UNPRECEDENTED AND
UNPRECEDENTED AND ANYTHING THAT I HAVE ANY
EVER OFFERED HERE,
OFTENTIMES I HAVE A
RARITY OF 100,000 G,
200,000 G, 500,000 COINS
EVER MADE THOSE WHICH EV
ARE MEDICALLY RARE ARE M
COINS, TALKING ABOUT
COINS THAT ARE TWO DOZEN
AND EXISTENCE OKAY? AND
WHERE WE ARE TALKING
ABOUT COINS WERE THERE'S
25 OF ANY EXISTENCE. 25
YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY
HERE TO LITERALLY OWN
WHAT I WOULD CONSIDER TO
BE A MUSEUM PIECE.
NORMALLY, TO SEE A COIN
LIKE THIS YOU HAVE TO GO
TO THE SMITHSONIAN ON TO
FOR INSTANCE, IN
WASHINGTON DC. THAT IS
THE ONLY WAY, YOUR ONLY
OPPORTUNITY TO GET COINS
FOR THIS RARITY AND THIS
MAGNITUDE TO GO TO SOME
SORT OF MUSEUM, TO FIELD
ALL MEANS, AND PUT THESE
INTO YOUR COLLECTION I
THINK IT IS SUCH AN
INCREDIBLY, AND
INCREDIBLY, AND PHENOMENALLY UNIQUE
PHENOMENALLY UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY THAT COMES
ALONG LIKE I SAID HERE
ONCE EVERY 10, 15 YEARS
AS ALL THE OP --
ALL-PURPOSE CLEANER THE
OPPORTUNITY TO DO. IF
YOU'VE GOT I DO NOT
RECOGNIZE THE COIN (...)
POLICY AND I SAW THESE
LAST WEEK I HAD NOT BEEN
ANY LIKE THIS IN QUITE
SOME TIME.
SOME TIME. >>GUEST: I AM UNAWARE OF
ANY MODERN ISSUE PATTERN
FOR THESE FROM THE FOR T
UNITED STATES UNITED STA
GOVERNMENT. IT USED TO
BE, AND BEFORE THE AGE B
OF COMPUTERS, AND THE
INTERNET THEY WOULD HAVE
TO STRIKE COINS TO SEE
HOW THEY LOOK, HAVE TO
STRIKE THEM IN DIFFERENT
MEDALS. IF YOU MAKE ANY
USB 99995 FINE SILVER.
THE PATTERNS ARE PUT ON
THE COMPUTER, AND THEY
ARE PICKED BEFOREHAND,
THEY MAKE THE COIN, AND
DO THAT. SO, TO GET A
PATTERN COIN IS VERY
UNIQUE AND IT WAS ONLY
BECAUSE OF THE
COMPOSITIONAL COMPOSITIO
COMPOSITIONAL COMPOSITIO DIFFERENCE, DIFFERENCE,
DIFFERENCE, DIFFERENCE, COMPOSITIONAL PATTERN
COMPOSITIONAL PATTERN THAT THEY ARE LOOKING TH
FOR TO BE ABLE TO DO
THESE PARTICULAR COINS.
OTHER THAN THAT THERE'S
ABSOLUTELY NO NEED FOR
PATTERN COINS THESE PATT
COULD VERY WELL BE THE
LAST AND FINAL PATTERN
COINS THAT THE U.S.
GOVERNMENT MAY MAKE. GO
AND THAT THEY NEED TO
TEST THE COMPOSITION TES
THAT THEY ARE NOT GOING
TO TEST THE ACTUAL TO TE
STRIKE OF THE COIN
ANYMORE BECAUSE THAT CAN
BE DONE WHITE EASILY IN
OTHER WAYS WITH OTHER WA
COMPUTERS AND SUCH RIGHT
NOW. SO, TREMENDOUS,
TREMENDOUS OPPORTUNITY.
TREMENDOUS OPPORTUNITY. WE HAVE TWO COINS HERE
AND MINT STATE 65. TWO
OF THEM BASICALLY TWO
DIFFERENT COMPOSITIONS.
DIFFERENT COMPOSITIONS. IF YOU ARE A PATTERN
COLLECTOR, YOU ARE
LITERALLY GOING TO NEED
TO COLLECT WITH THESE
BUSY NEED THIS RIGHT
VARIETY HERE. THIS IS V
N, N. MEDICAL, --
NICKEL, NO MAY GET
MANGANESE. IS LITTLE
BRIGHTER COIN, THIS IS
TARNISHED A LITTLE BIT
AND THAT IS THE BLACK OF
MANGANESE IN THE COIN
ITSELF!
ITSELF!
ITSELF! >>HOST: THAT IS WHY THAT
THERE IS A NEED TO TEST
THE COMPANY COMPOSITION.
>>GUEST: LET THEM SIT
AROUND FOR A WHILE, SEE
OUT A RESPONSE TO
HAPPENS. AND THIS IS TH
OUT A RESPONSE TO HAPPENS. AND THIS IS THE
END RESULT FOR A COUPLE
OF DOZEN OF THESE COINS
IS WHAT'S IN EXISTENCE.
>>HOST: GET A NUMBER, >>
CAN YOU SEE RIGHT NOW? T
IS FOR THE ONE WITH THE
MANGANESE. THE ONE YOU
SEE RIGHT HERE, SAME SEE
ITEM NUMBER INSTEAD OF
047, IT IS ZERO FOR TWO.
WE ARE SHOWING THEM
SIDE-BY-SIDE SUE VU CAN
SEE THE DETAIL THERE,
BECAUSE I (...) THIS IS
>>GUEST: THIS IS
LITERALLY NUMISMATIC AND
AMERICAN HISTORY.
AMERICAN HISTORY. >>HOST: THIS IS THE COIN
COLLECTOR FOR THE COIN
COLLECTORS (...) THERE
ARE LEVELS OF COIN
COLLECTORS, SOME OF US
ARE MORE CASUAL SOME OF
US ARE MORE SERIOUS, US
THIS IS WHEN (...) THESE
ARE THE KIND OF THINGS
THAT YOU LOOK FOR, YOU
LIVE FOR.
LIVE FOR.
LIVE FOR. >>HOST: IT IS THAT
