Lot 666
1885 Pattern Eagle. Aluminum, reeded edge. Judd-1755. Pollock-1968. Rarity 8. PCGS graded Proof 66. The obverse is the regular dies, and the reverse is the regular dies but struck in aluminum with a reeded edge. Basically this is a normal 1885 Proof Gold Eagle, that is struck on a completely different planchet. There are only two examples known it appears, this one is the finest, and the other is a PR-65 Cameo graded by PCGS. The surfaces are amazing with classic faded light silver-gray typical of these early aluminum planchets. Incredibly rare and desirable! A lovely example. Pop 1; the finest example graded at both services. (PCGS # 62198) Estimated Value $12,500 - UP
