Obverse 1 Reverse A
Example from Ray Lathrop Collection
Example from Chris Majtyka Collection
Comments: At least three examples have been seen in white metal. Obverse is poorly struck while the reverse has reasonable definition of major design elements. The Ray Lathrop specimen weighs only 1.9 grams. Weight from a similar example was reported at about 2.3 grams as per Winston Zack of Chicago Coin Company.
