Obverse/Reverse: The regular dies used to coin three dollar gold pieces in 1870 but stuck in copper

Comment:
Saul Teichman writes that about a half dozen examples are known.
Violet and blue tones complement medium brown surfaces. This Select three dollar dies trial is flashy and appealing with a singular lint mark on the cheek.

These were mostly struck for collectors as part of off metal sets.
