Description
Struck in white metal and without denticles, this reverse die trial shows the Standard Silver half dollar design of 1870. It resembles Judd-939 and related patterns, but the date is larger and set higher, and the word STANDARD has been removed. It is ex Nagy and was sold in 2003 and 2020; uspatterns thinks it is probably the piece in Elder's sale of February 1910.
