Although Breen/Judd list this die trial as actually a restrike using the obverse of 1872 with a reverse die with the date sloping up to the right, according to John Dannreuther, it is actually an obverse die first used in 1869. Examples were struck as follows: Gold J440. Two examples of this restrike are known in gold ex Judd, Wilkison, Bass Foundation and the other ex-Farouk, Heritage 3/99. These were possibly made to be included with the 1865 with motto gold strikings as part of the set. A similar one dollar gold coin, also with the date sloping up to the right, is mentioned in Breen's proof book. An example was sold in one of the Harry W. Bass Jr. Research Foundation sales.
