Description
1869 Five Dollar in Copper
Judd-775, PR64 Brown
1869 $5 Five Dollar, Judd-775, Pollock-861, High R.7, PR64 Brown
PCGS. Ex: Simpson. The dies are the regular-issue Liberty Head
half eagle design of the year. Struck in copper with a reeded edge.
While the Judd reference refers to these as regular die-trials
pieces, USPatterns.com suggests they more than likely were produced
for sale to collectors as part of complete off-metal sets. About a
half-dozen pieces are known in copper. Examples were also struck in
aluminum and there is a single piece in nickel. The original mint
red has mellowed several shades deeper on the reverse than the
obverse, and there is a peculiar "stain" on the lower reverse;
however, significant mint red survives on the obverse.Collecting Patterns – A Brief History and Commentary
