CC Die Trial

I've never seen die trials like this - and the "cancelling" looks weird too - but I'm not well versed in this area - what think ye?

I've talked to Mike Byers about these. Byers is one of the largest and most knowledgable dealers errors and die trials and other weird Mint stuff and he explained the hows $ whys about these unusual things. They are simply modern restrikes, not actually patterns or die trials. Restrike really isn't a good designation because coins are restruck, these are not coins. Trial is the best descripition because the CC Museum wanted to see what the old canceled dies would do I guess.
