Pretty cool "graffitti". Maybe it had something to do with the campaign to put Teddy on Mt. Rushmore.

Here's the full patent - http://www.google.com/patents?id=psl...775826#PPP3,M1

It mentions stamping high-relief images on metal plates "for jewelry or other purposes" (lines 10 - 13).

I have only found one other person looking for info on these coins.

I was told the original coin was a "barber" half dollor?

I do not know.

One story I was told is that it has something to do with the Panama canal.


Thanks for your feed back.
