1875 Half Eagle in Copper
Judd-1441, PR66+ Brown

1875 $5 Five Dollar, Judd-1441, Pollock-1585, High R.7, PR66+ Brown PCGS. Ex: Simpson. The regular Liberty head half eagle design for the year. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. The four or five examples of Judd-1441 extant were almost certainly struck for inclusion in off-metal sets made for sale to collectors. The rarity of the regular-issue circulation-strike 1875 half eagle, with 200 coins minted and only eight confirmed survivors, heightens the desirability of and demand for these patterns, at least one of which as been gilted. This chocolate-brown Premium Gem exhibits wild toning in shades of blue, violet, green, gold, and orange. Predictably clean and fully struck.
Ex: Classics Sale (Stack's, 7/2003), lot 1063.

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2AC5, PCGS# 61749, Greysheet# 14467)
