1874 Double Eagle in Aluminum
Judd-1382, PR65 Deep Cameo

1874 $20 Double Eagle, Judd-1382, Pollock-1527, PR65 Deep Cameo PCGS. Ex: Simpson. Struck from the regular dies in aluminum with a reeded edge. This is only the second public auction appearance of either of the two Judd-1382 representatives since this same piece was last offered in 2005. The other example has not been seen since 1976, though it shows up in the PCGS Population Report as PR64. All 1874 regular issue denominations are known to exist in aluminum format, which suggests that a few denomination sets were assembled, either for presentation purposes or to sell to well-connected dealers or collectors.

The present Gem exhibits terrific Deep Cameo contrast between the devices and the mirrored fields. Hints of retained laminations are noted east of star 4 and north of star 5, another is beneath the left (facing) wing. These mint-made features will pedigree any future auction appearances of this desirable specimen, although it may be many years before an example of Judd-1382 reaches the auction block again.
Ex: ANA Signature (Heritage, 7/2005), lot 10498.
