Here's a dateless St. Gaudens trial piece I just ran across while searching USPatterns.com!
Check it out, it really has no date!
Are there any other pieces struck with this dateless obverse die?
It's struck on an oversize brass planchet and cataloged as JA1908-1 and P2011.
Also amazing is that Stack's donated it to the Smithsonian. Is there any additional info on this?

JA1908-1/P2011This is an undated trial piece struck, off-center, on an oversized brass planchet using the with motto reverse thus we list it in the Splasher section but Pollock chose not to.
The piece is unique and was donated by Stacks to the Smithsonian.

What a cool item.... Would certainly command a premium if placed on the market. Cheers, RickO
I'd gladly spend Valentine's Day with that!
That's pretty dang wild.

Doesn't really look off center to me.
What an awesome piece! Hopefully the Smithsonian actually displays it instead of locking it away in a crate with the Ark of the Covenant.

Any original plasters remain that weren't destroyed in 1910 of both the Saint and the Indian Head $10?
Dang, another special coin locked up in a museum's vault drawer so no one can ever see it again.
That thing is cool.
Not really looking for much these days but if I were, it might be a toner.
Huh interesting! This coin has a lot going on with it. Thanks for sharing!

I wonder if this is a prototype for putting the date on the edge
Want to thank @MrEureka and Saul for maintaining the great USPatterns.com site.
