Lot 665
1880 Pattern Half Eagle. Copper, reeded edge. Judd-1663. Pollock-1863. Rarity 8. PCGS graded Proof 65 Brown. CAC. PQ. The obverse is the regular dies of the half eagle, the reverse is also the regular dies of the half eagle, but not struck in gold, but instead on a copper planchet with a reeded edge. Nice brown toning with all the appeal of a gorgeous copper coin. There appears to be only two examples known of this rare pattern, and a bit of plate matching will show this fact using the handy photos on CoinFacts. This one has some scratches on the the plastic, and thus needs a new holder. Pop 1; the finest PRBN examples graded at both services. (PCGS # 62048) Estimated Value $12,000 - UP
