International Nickel Company researched on finding an alternative composition for silver from 1964 to 1965. Numismatic researcher Roger W. Burdette is closely studying these coins. He wants to find out if any collector owns or knows about any INCO pieces.

The diameter and thickness of these metal discs are close to that of a U.S. quarter dollar. It features engraved numbers and letters to describe the composition.

Burdette is also open to traveling for reaching out to collectors who have such coins. INCO produced pieces with the date 1964 on the obverse and TEST PIECE on the reverse. Some pieces also depicted Dr. Paul D. Merica on the obverse and the laboratory where they were struck on the reverse.
