Although described as regular dies trial pieces, these were actually deliberately struck for sale to collectors as part of complete aluminum sets.

Only 2 examples are believed to exist, one of which is ex Newcomer, the other ex Brenner-1914 ANS, Brand. Modern listings for these 2 include Ruby-Superior 2/75 and Crouch-Superior 6/77, Paramount Auction 80.
