1878 Five Dollar in Gilt Copper
Judd-1576, PR62
1878 $5 Five Dollar, Judd-1576, Pollock-1769, Low R.7, PR62 Gilt
NGC. Ex: Bass Collection. A head of Liberty faces left with IN
GOD WE TRUST above, and the date 1878 below. Liberty is wearing a
large cap inscribed LIBERTY and it is ornamented with 2 wheat ears.
There are 13 stars at the border arranged 7 left and 6 right. An
eagle with upraised wings is seen on the reverse. E PLURIBUS UNUM
is expressed in two lines over the eagle's head. This design is
attributed to William Barber who was impressed with Gobrecht's
sketches from the 1830s. Struck in copper with a reeded edge.
According to USPatterns.com, about a dozen examples of Judd-1576
exist. Some of them have been gilt. This is an impressive example
of a seldom-seen pattern design. Lightly hairlined, but the gilt
surface is intact and the strike is complete.Ex: Harry W. Bass Collection, Part I (Bowers and Merena, 5/1999), lot 1375; Dallas Signature (Heritage, 11/2023), lot 3937.
