Republic 3-Piece Certified "Un Centavo" Metal Trial Piefort Pattern Centavo Set 1892,
1) Copper-Nickel - MS64 NGC, KM-P4
2) Copper - MS63 Red and Brown NGC, KM-P5
3) Aluminum - MS61 NGC, KM-P6
A rare group of patterns (essai) in double-thickness, each in a different metal composition. While none of the three piefort pattern varieties of the date are seen with any frequency, it is this type that seems to appear least often, with the last instance to appear in archived auction sales being an example in copper that was sold back in 2009.
