Here, however, this pattern is a die trial issue, struck in aluminum with a reeded edge. According to www.uspatterns.com, the pieces were struck to show how easily aluminum coined, and they were offered for sale to collectors in cased sets, several of still exist today. The reverse is choice, but a bit of crumbling shows on the obverse rim.
