Description
1872 Amazonian Five Dollar
Judd-1241, PR62 Gilt Copper
1872 $5 Amazonian Five Dollar, Judd-1241, Pollock-1382, Low R.7,
PR62 Gilt PCGS. Ex: Simpson. William Barber's so-called
Amazonian patterns are one of the most famous of all pattern
designs. It features a head of Liberty facing left, headband
inscribed LIBERTY, hair flowing. The reverse depicts Barber's
standing eagle with talons holding a shield. Struck in copper with
a reeded edge. The most famous examples of this design are a unique
set in gold. Examples were also struck in copper and aluminum. Over
a dozen copper pieces are known, some of which are gilt. The
surfaces have deepened several shades overall with the darkening
especially noticeable around the margins. The feathers on the eagle
are sharply detailed, but Liberty's hair curls and the eagle's
claws lack complete high-point definition. A rarely encountered
design.Collecting Patterns – A Brief History and Commentary
