 Major General Zachary Taylor. J.MI.24. Trial in lead. 89.7 mm. Technically Uncirculated. Rims 7.0 - 7.8 mm. thick. Obverse the completed MI.24 die. Reverse incomplete, lacks battle scene, landscape unfinished, no inscriptions, no signatures. Some oxidation across the middle of the obverse, rim dents and nicks. Undoubtedly quite rare but how so is not known to the cataloguer, who has not seen another like it. However, Carlson prices pairs of lead trials on MI.24, suggesting that he thought several existed.
Ex Tom Gordon via Presidential Coin & Antique Company on February 1, 1979.
