| NGC PF 61 RB This is an extremely rare pattern which is also double struck. There are only two certified including this piece. It is a die trial of the regular design for the 1873 Closed 3 $20 gold piece that was struck in copper. It was double struck in the collar with rotation between the two strikes. Considerable detail from the original strike is visible on the obverse, on the stars, date and portrait. The reverse also shows considerable detail remaining from the first strike as well as on UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, TWENTY D. and the eagle. The close-up photos below show the rotation on this double struck $20 pattern. | ;)

| PCGS MS 65 UNIQUE PCGS recently authenticated and certified this spectacular $5 die trial. It was stuck in white metal in 1838. It is the reverse design for the regular No Motto with Small Letters, which was struck in 1839 and 1840. Technically it is a splasher since it was struck only on one side on oversized white metal. It is a dramatic die trial of an early design for the $5 gold piece and is in gem mint state condition. It is the plate coin in the 9th Edition of Judd. Unique. | ;)

| PCGS AU 58 Yet another unique die trial has surfaced. This 1910 Lincoln Cent Uniface Test Strike was certified by PCGS and is unique and unreported. It is not listed in Judd, Pollock or any other numismatic reference. It was purchased from an east coast estate which included several other unique and spectacular United States major mint errors. Considering the fact that the Lincoln Cent series is one of the most popular and collected series of U.S. Coins, it is amazing that there is no reference to this 1910 Test Strike Piece anywhere. There are two 1909 Obverse Lincoln Cent Die Trials struck in lead. One is ex-Judd, the other is the Pollock plate coin. It is fascinating that a test strike was made in 1910 of the obverse on a copper planchet with a uniface reverse. | ;)

| Unique This United States 1872 $20 Liberty Head Obverse Die is of the rarer Type II variety, which were struck for only 11 years from 1866 to 1876. This die struck the obverse design of the $20 Liberty Head double eagle gold coin over 130 years ago and is one of the only known dies from the nineteenth century that struck gold coins.
Not only would this be an amazing centerpiece to a United States gold coin collection, it is of such numismatic importance that it could be placed in a historical museum or collection of Gold Rush artifacts and antiquities. | ;)
