<B>Circa 1859 Dickeson Cent Restrike Token MS64 Red and Brown NGC.</B></I> Breen-1380. Copper. The obverse features a defiant eagle perched on a rock. The arcing reverse legend reads TRIAL PIECE / DESIGNED FOR / UNITED STATES / CENT. / 1792." According to Breen's 1988 <I>Complete Encyclopedia,</B></I> Dr. Montroville W. Dickeson obtained a pair of dies created by early Mint employee Adam Eckfeldt. Those dies were never used for coinage or pattern purposes, and were assumedly sold as scrap metal by the Mint. Dickeson apparently believed the die was connected with the 1792 Getz or Birch cents. Extremely rare; Breen notes "Untraced" but he notes that the type was illustrated in Dickeson's <I>American Numismatical Manual</B></I> (1859). This sharply struck piece offers ruby-red and gold color. The eagle die is rusted and has a break at 5 o'clock. A small planchet flaw below the eagle's wing serves as a pedigree marker.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
