United States Silver Eagle $1, obverse image struck on a sand paper disc as a die set-up strike. An emery (or sanding) disc is wafer-thin, round, granular, and backed by an adhesive. It is typically affixed to a buffing wheel, and was used at the US Mint to prepare dies. A sanding disc found its way within a series of silver eagle planchets, and was fed between silver eagle dies, along with a silver eagle planchet. The silver planchet (not included here) blocked the reverse die, thus the front of this dark gray piece has a obverse die impression. The other side shows an incused impression of the obverse. Rare and impressionable, this example was last sold by Heritage Auctions in 2020, NGC certified.
