(1859) Dime Die Trial - J-A1859-1
Strike Type
Coin Details
Description
Struck in copper, this incomplete obverse die trial shows only the portrait of Anthony C. Paquet's French head design of 1859. uspatterns credits the head to Paquet rather than Longacre, citing an 1897 article by Edmund J. Cleveland. Earlier sales called it a dime trial (1951) and a half dime trial (1958), and Judd and Pollock list it twice, the second time in error as a white metal half dime trial. It is unique.
