Description
1876 Copper Five Dollar, PR65 Red and Brown
Judd-1484, Only Two Believed Known
1876 $5 Five Dollar, Judd-1484, Pollock-1637, R.7, PR65 Red and
Brown NGC. 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. This piece is the only example certified in any
grade at NGC. PCGS has certified a single PR65 Red and Brown,
although we believe that to be the Harry W. Bass, Jr. specimen, and
a different example as far as we can ascertain. This may
nonetheless be one of only two examples in existence, a conclusion
that USPatterns.com supports as well. 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.Ex: 1976 ANA Sale (Stack's, 8/1976); Paramount (3/1978); Dallas Auction (Heritage, 7/2006), lot 773, where it brought $12,650; 2009 ANA Sale (Bowers and Merena, 8/2009), lot 4198, where it realized $38,525; 2010 FUN Sale (Heritage, 1/2010), lot 2376, where it brought $35,000.
