Description
Outstanding Aluminum Die Trials 1875 Half Eagle, Judd-1442
1875 $5 Five Dollar, Judd-1442, Pollock-1586, R.7, PR66 PCGS. Regular die trials issue for the Half Eagle. Struck in aluminum with a reeded edge. According to the USPatterns.com website, "Although described as regular dies trial pieces, these were more likely deliberately struck for sale to collectors as part of complete sets." The same website estimates that only two or three pieces are believed known in aluminum. This is undoubtedly the finest example known, and in fact, this is one of the finest aluminum patterns we have ever seen of any design or year. There is no trace of oxidation anywhere on this coin. A few tiny planchet flaws are seen in the fields with the aid of a magnifier, but none are visible without a loupe. The surfaces are bright and the fields are very deeply mirrored with sharply contrasting cameo devices. A memorable aluminum pattern.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2AC6, PCGS# 61750, GSID# 14470)
