Lot 1822
1870 Pattern Eagle. Aluminum, Reeded Edge. Judd-1036. Pollock-1171. Rarity 8. PCGS graded Proof 65 Cameo. CAC Approved. These are often referred to as regular dies trial pieces, however, these were more likely struck for sale to collectors at the time as part of complete off-metal sets that were being produced. This is an extremely rare aluminum pattern with only two or three pieces believed to exist. As with most aluminum patterns, the fields are deeply mirrored and set up a dark background for the heavily frosted devices. Slight planchet irregularities through TAT in STATES and above the M in AMERICA serve to identify this particular piece. This is an important opportunity for the specialized pattern collector. Pop 1; 1 finer in 65+.
Estimated Value $18,000 - 20,000.
