1860 Five Dollar Pattern in Copper
Judd-272, PR63 Brown

1860 P$5 Five Dollar, Judd-272, Pollock-320, Low R.6, PR63 Brown PCGS. CAC. 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 noticeably 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. These pieces were struck on thick and thin planchets; this example is a thin-planchet variant. While designated as Brown, there is considerable iridescence present over each side, subtle colors that are especially noticeable when highlighted by the mirrored fields. Population: 4 in 63 Brown, 6 finer. CAC: 1 in 63, 4 finer (12/25).
Ex: FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2018), lot 5914; Stack's Bowers (11/2019), lot 8205.
