I was heavily involed in this Collis scenario. I discovered the die in
Newburyport in 1959 from the Perkins family. They sold me the B169 oval
medal in gold for $150, but retained the case. They wanted $5000 for
the die--way out of my reach. I tried to get a party to donate this to
the ANS, but was unsuccessful. Later that year Collis bought the die
and struck the pieces. The die was donated to ANS after the
strikinings.
