Check the listing for details. Alaska Silver Die Trial / Native Yukon Gold Rush / MS67 ICG POP 15 RARE. Made in United States. Listed at 47.45 USD. ND Nugget Creek silver die trial specimen for the 1 DWT Gold version—ICG-certified and graded MS67. Privately struck in Fairbanks, Alaska, by Dick Hanscom. Dick strikes a limited number as die-trial pieces in silver before he mints the gold version. Dick hand strikes between 10-25 of the silver die trial pieces using a vintage screw press before striking the raw gold he obtains from each mining district. Dick curtailed releasing these die trial pieces to near zero to the public years ago. We were fortunate to buy most of the limited inventory of these from Dick about 15-20 years ago. We worked with ICG to get them to certify these. ICG agreed that they were worthy of slabbing and grading. We submitted a batch to ICG for certification and received them back recently. We have a limited number of one piece of this variety at this time.
