Description
This undated white metal piece is an obverse die trial for the Seated Liberty dime. It shows the starless design of 1837 with one star added between the pole and Liberty's head, which is why it is listed under 1838, between the starless dimes of 1837 and the starred dimes of 1838 and later. Two are confirmed: one in the Library Company of Philadelphia and one sold in 2006 and 2021.
