Description du lot

The obverse and reverse designs are the same that the Mint used to coin regular issue 1875 Liberty Seated dimes. This is a beautiful Superb Gem Proof with richly original obverse toning in lilac-blue and antique gold with faint pinkish-rose in the left field. The equally attractive reverse retains most of the original mint red color with delicate toning at the denticles.<p>As related by the <em>uspatterns.com</em> website, "Although these are described as regular die trial pieces in the standard references, it is more likely that the off-metal 'trials' of this year were deliberately struck for sale to collectors." The same source traces only four specimens of Judd-1390 in copper, that offered here by far the finest known.
