Description
1880 Five Dollar Regular Dies in Copper
Judd-1663, PR64 Brown
1880 $5 Five Dollar, Judd-1663, Pollock-1863, R.8, PR64 Brown
PCGS. This is a regular dies trial piece struck from the
regular half eagle dies. Struck in copper with a reeded edge.
Rather than dismissing this dies trial striking as a Mint
fabrication made solely for collectors, the USPatterns. com website
states: "It is unclear if this a true trial piece of an item
deliberately struck for sale to collectors." The devices are fully
struck on each side, and the surfaces are deep brown with
occasional bits of blue and red just beneath the brown patina. Only
three pieces are believed known of this rarity.Ex: Farouk (Sotheby's, 2/1954); State Rare Coin Auction (1/1981), lot 600; ANA Signature (Heritage, 1/2008); Bowers and Merena (9/2009); Stack's Bowers (11/2011).
