Uniface Reverse Die Trial
Unique, Ex: Woodin, Judd
Undated (1857) Twenty Dollar, Judd-190, Pollock-3158, R.8, PR64
Brown PCGS. CAC. Ex: Simpson. Uniface die trial of the reverse
of the regular issue 1857 double eagle. Struck in copper with a
reeded edge. This unique reverse trial was produced by passing the
planchet through an 'upsetting machine' both before and after
striking, according to Dr. Judd. The result was to make the coin
very concave. U.S. Mint consultant J.T. Barclay is credited with
the idea, designed to prevent shysters from removing the central
portion of a gold coin and replacing it with platinum. This die
trial has an inconsistent strike, sharp at the centers but
indistinct along the upper border. Parallel roller marks, as made,
are near the D in TWENTY D. The surfaces are toned mahogany-brown
with glimmers of powder-blue in protected areas.Ex: William H. Woodin; 1914 A.N.S. Exhibit; King Farouk; Dr. J.H.
