2006 breast cancer test piece coin
Had this piece for awhile and wanted to share with the community here. I only know of two pieces to exist.

Re: 2006 breast cancer test piece coin
Interesting, I'm guessing that the center was designed to have a color applied. Can you tell us any more of the story behind it???

Re: 2006 breast cancer test piece coin
Coin was given to me by someone who did not collect coins and did not know what he had. They were part of a test lot that the mint sends out for metal heat testing and coloring testing and must have lost track of them. I was told this is a legitimate test piece by someone who had contacts in the mint.
My son tried to sell this a couple years back by putting photos on CCF and someone responded that they had seen many of these coins but that sounded like a trick to get the coin for a couple hundred dollars. Being that i know only two to exist and the others were destroyed it has quite high rarity.
Its not for sale but i wanted to share with community and maybe get it published in variety books.
Thanks
