Although listed by Judd as a regular dies trial piece struck in silver, Taxay describes this as a mint error, struck on a dime planchet which your editor believes is the more likely scenario.
At least 2 examples are known, one in high grade is ex Brand, Opezzo-Stacks 8/41, Farouk, Judd, Sloss, 79 ANA. It was withdrawn from the 79 ANA sale and, to my knowledge, has not appeared on the market since. The other, graded Good-6 by NGC as a mint error, is illustrated above. It realized $46,000 in Heritage's 9/08 sale.
