Strike TypeCoin Details
Description
The c.1964 Quarter Pattern - P-5391, DuPont is a quarter-size test piece made for DuPont in 1964. The obverse shows Benjamin Franklin and the reverse the DuPont emblem with an inscription saying the token is made from explosion-bonded Detaclad, DuPont's process for bonding 75% copper and 25% nickel to a copper core. Pollock-5391 is that clad, and USPatterns.com says 520 are believed struck; Coin World writes that August Frank Co. of Philadelphia struck the DuPont pieces, some from dies of a Benjamin Franklin Federal Savings store card. NGC lists it as c.1964 DUPONT P-5391 25C.
