cf. Fr-285; cf. KM-418.1; cf. Cal Type-167/169. The only certified example on the PCGS population report. Beautifully preserved and very attractive, this seldom encountered die trial exhibits crisp intricate devices with flashy surfaces. The high points display a medium gray coloration while the fields are bright and lustrous, though the brilliance is slight subdued by a thin layer of tone. The reverse, though smooth, exhibits as made adjustment marks with mottled tone. This fantastic survivor is pleasing to the eye and is certain to catch the attention of many collectors.
