Description
Struck in white metal, this complete obverse die trial for the 1840 Seated Liberty dime includes the date. It has the With Drapery design, but the drapery under Liberty's left arm appears to have been removed; the roughness in that area suggests it was ground away. Only one example is confirmed, sold in 2006, 2008 and 2014.
