One of only three known Specimen strikings of the date. The census is as follows:
1) The present example. Once part of the Norweb collection, where it was acquired through A.H. Baldwin & Sons in 1957. The Bowers & Merena cataloging in its the 1996 offering mentions that it was possibly from the William B. Tennant collection, but considering that the collection was purchased by Norweb en masse in 1953, this assignment seems impossible.
2) The Virgil M. Brand example. Reportedly purchased by Brand in a Specimen set of the date that was sold by Baldwin's in 1912 as part of the famed J.B. Caldecott collection. We presume this is also the only other example graded by PCGS, having received the SP-65 grade.
3) The Sir C.W. Fremantle example. This coin resides in the Canadian cabinet in the British Museum.
