This muling of the 1866 Washington obverse with "United States of America" combined with the 1867 Liberty head obverse without star on coronet, if it actually exists, is believed to have been struck outside the mint from dies sold as scrap metal which were purchased by Joseph Mickley. Many of these coins ended up in the Crosby collection. It is not known if Mickley or Crosby was the actual minter of these coins. For additional information click here. This picture is a composite.
