Lot 662
1871 Pattern Eagle. Copper, reeded edge. Judd-1173. Pollock-1315. High Rarity 7. PCGS graded Proof 67 Brown. The obverse and reverse are both the regular dies but struck in copper, with the usual reeded edge. Curiously up to 4 or even 5 are reported, but all of the higher end coins seem to be the same specimen offered here. Regardless, this one is certainly the finest reported in any color variation, and given the rarity of this date and mint in Proof, should find considerable interest for this prized Superb Gem Proof eagle. Lovely blue and purple toning that spans both sides, and creates incredible eye appeal for the collector. Pop 1; the finest example graded at both services. (PCGS # 61436) Estimated Value $14,000 - UP
