Moran & Clark $10 Copper Dies Trial VF20 PCGS. Ex: Gar
<B>Moran & Clark $10 Copper Dies Trial VF20 PCGS.</B></I> Ex: Garrett. K-1, High R.7. Kagin lists this variety on page 348 of his 2001 reference, <I>Private Gold Coins and Patterns of the United States,</B></I> where he makes the statement, "Most are struck off center." The present piece is well centered, although the obverse is slightly misaligned toward 3 o'clock. This chocolate-brown piece shows moderate wear. A faint X is scratched onto the obverse exergue, while the reverse displays deeper scratches right of the wreath and at the center. Moran & Clark was one of numerous firms that planned to coin gold pieces in California during the 1849 to 1850 period, but lacked the determination and resources to follow through.<BR><I>Ex: Arthur C.
