Patterns
1876 $5 Five Dollar, Judd-1484, Pollock-1637, R.7, PR66 Red and Brown PCGS. CAC. This copper five dollar pattern is struck from the regular dies for the 1876 half eagle. Judd lists it as a die trial; USPatterns.com calls it a pattern likely deliberately struck for sale to collectors. USPatterns.com notes that only two examples are confirmed, this piece and the Harry W. Bass specimen. This is an attractive, sparkling Gem with lots of field-device contrast and plenty of mint orange-red remaining in the fields on both sides, punctuated by dollops of cobalt-blue.
