1861 COPPER Territorial Gold CLARK GRUBER K-12c $20 NGC MS62BN

1861 $20 Clark, Gruber $20 Copper Die Trial MS62 Brown NGC. K-12c, R.6. 

Struck from the same die pair that issued the K-8 gold twenty dollars, the K-12c copper die trial is approximately as rare but substantially more affordable. There is no indication of wear, though the strike shows moderate incompleteness on the date and lowest stars. No marks are noticeable throughout the olive-green and ocean-blue surfaces. The surfaces are minutely granular, and minor retained laminations are noted near star 5. Census: 4 in 62 Brown, 0 finer.
