<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tunakahuna13, post: 3981191, member: 108229&quot;]I ha e a die trial that was passed down to me with these same characteristics. It has what appear to be die gouges making up the whole design of the mercury dime rotated about 7 degrees from the roosevelt. The torch is clearly from the mercury design and all design elements are present. The obverse has elements showing on the face of roosevelt but is missing the date and complete fields and instead has heavy filing Mark&#039;s all throughout the entire field. I am wondering if these were as a design test to see how well the design would fill before producing the master dies. I believe my grandpa purchased these trials from the auction along with his 1964 sms kennedy trial which s now our little secretive heirloom. Any help would be greatly appreciated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
