1868 Five Dollar in Aluminum
Judd-660, PR64
Ex: Bass Core Collection

1868 $5 Five Dollar, Judd-660, Pollock-733, Low R.7, PR64 PCGS. Ex: Harry W. Bass, Jr. Collection. Each side features the regular-issue design for the 1868 half eagle but struck in aluminum with a reeded edge. About six examples are known. They were manufactured for inclusion in complete year sets in this exotic metal rather than as die trials, as is often noted. This frosty near-Gem is typically bright and flashy. While moderate contrast exists between the fields and devices, no Cameo designation is present.
Ex: Palace Collections of Egypt (King Farouk) (Sotheby's, 2-3/1954); Harry X Boosel Collection (RARCOA, 4/1972), lot 1067; Harry W. Bass, Jr. Core Collection, Part IV (Heritage, 8/2023), lot 9095.
