1884 Five Dollar in Copper
Unique Judd-1736, PR65 Brown

1884 $5 Five Dollar, Judd-1736, Pollock-1947, Unique, PR65 Brown PCGS. Ex: Simpson. Traditionally described as a regular dies trial piece, this piece is believed to have been deliberately struck as part of the unique copper set from the quarter to the double eagle, including the 1884 Trade dollar. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. The set was presented to A.M. Smith, who wrote the Mint's visitor guides. The surfaces are muted brown with the occasional dash of light blue, all the while retaining bright proof reflectivity in the fields, which keeps the deeper colors from appearing deep or oppressive.
