Description

Anti-Counterfeiting 1860 Five Dollar in Copper
Judd-272, PR63 Brown

1860 P$5 Five Dollar, Judd-272, Pollock-320, Low R.6, PR63 Brown NGC. The obverse introduces the right-facing bust of Liberty with three large stars on the cap, a familiar motif within the Standard Silver series and first used on Judd-271 and Judd-272. The date is quite small. The reverse features a small eagle with a curved shield, clutching the banner bearing E PLURIBUS UNUM in its beak along with the usual olive branch and arrows in its claws. Struck in copper with a reeded edge and struck on an eagle-sized planchet as an anti-counterfeiting measure.
Lovely deep brown surfaces exhibit delicate blue and iridescent toning on each side, with fully mirrored fields. Minor peripheral surface marks are of little concern. Approximately two dozen examples survive.

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 29DF, PCGS# 12078, GSID# 12431)
