Description

Struck in white metal, this complete reverse die trial shows the laurel wreath whose leaves are grouped in fives. The wreath is the one used on the 1858 cent patterns Judd-191, 202 and 208, and the regular Indian Head cent carried a laurel wreath reverse in 1859. Only one example is confirmed, sold in 2006 and several times since.
