Message:: [QUOTE="Bob Bennett, post: 2163355, member: 74767"]The Christian Arpad Jakobb design had an actual uniface copper Trial Die made of the reverse Plaster Model which was recently found and if all accounts are correct was minted at the Interbranch International Mint in Toronto, Ontario which no longer exists.  The minted coin was done in copper and "FIVE CENTS" was added under MONTICELLO on the Reverse Die. Other then that, the coin is complete and correct exactly as that of the Plaster Model. No trial die was made of the Obverse that anyone can say or is aware of.  There has been only one another uniface copper die trial show up of the Plaster Models submitted and that is of the model submitted by Anthony De Francisci and that is also a Trial Die Reverse that shows Monticello with "FIVE CENTS" underneath and a "SUNBURST" in the background.  Also, as with the Christian Arpad Jakobb Trial Die Reverse only one is known to exist or has ever been found to exist of Anthony DeFrancisci's Model.  This was also authenticated by PCGS and graded Mint State 62, Reverse Electrotrial, Anthony De Francisci, Control #1004933.62/90058986, No Date, DT 5C[/QUOTE]
