Description
1878 William Barber Copper Half Eagle
Judd-1574, PR65 Red and Brown
1878 $5 Five Dollar, Judd-1574, Pollock-1766, R.6, PR65 Red and
Brown PCGS. CAC. William Barber's design shows the head of
Liberty and wears a band inscribed LIBERTY incused with E PLURIBUS
UNUM around the margin. This portrait is similar in design to the
famous Flowing Hair stella. The reverse has an erect eagle with
raised wings. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. Struck on a
wider flan than normal for a half eagle. USPatterns.com estimates
that about 18 examples are known, several of which have been gilt,
and at least six of which are in museum holdings. This example
retains generous portions of mint red on each side, which is
especially noticeable in the fields because of the deep mirroring
of the proof finish. Sharply defined throughout and essentially
problem-free.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2AFW, PCGS# 71937, Greysheet# 14839)
