Ex: Judd-Kosoff

(1857) Double Eagle Die Trial, J-A1857-6, Pollock-3146, Unique, MS62 PCGS. 35.04 grams. A negative impression of the reverse for a double eagle is featured with a heraldic eagle with a large ornamental shield, holding a plain scroll in its beak and grasping large arrows and an olive branch in its talons. The reverse has portions of a wreath showing. Struck in lead. This is the Judd reference plate coin and was noted by Abe Kosoff as being unique. According to Saul Teichman of USPatterns.com, the design was "not used on any patterns that I am aware of. It is possibly the work of Anthony C. Paquet but that is uncertain." Rough surfaces, as made.
