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 as part of complete aluminum sets.
Only 2 are known as follows:
1) Gschwend, Brand, Boosel-RARCOA 4/72, RARCOA 1/73, Stacks 1/87, Superior 10/90, Bowers and Merena 11/92, Bowers and Merena 1/97, ANR 7/05 - illustrated above and easily matched to the Gschwend sale plate. Click on the thumbnail image for an enlargement.

2) Cox-Stacks 4/62 now in the Smithsonian and illustrated below.
