Description

Interesting Pattern One Cent Trial Piece

"One Cent" Trial Piece, Judd-Appendix C, Pollock-6001, R.6-7, PR 63. The obverse features a beautifully designed eagle with folded wing standing on a half shield. The design was taken from a die that was allegedly used for stamping revenue paper (ca. 1797-1817). Dr. Montroville Dickeson believed this design to be a 1792 pattern and he is believed responsible for creating these fantasy pieces in the 1850s. The reverse reads TRIAL PIECE DESIGNED FOR UNITED STATES CENT 1792. Struck in copper with a plain edge. Lustrous surfaces with attractive brown and olive tinting. Small speckles of carbon account for the grade.
Ex. Kissel and Victoria Collections (B&M, 9/89), lot 2571. Uncertified.

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# K5X3, PCGS# 11659, GSID# 12183)
