Lot Description

1863 Pattern Liberty Eagle. Judd-350, Pollock-422. Rarity-6-. Proof-64 BN (PCGS). The obverse and reverse designs are the same that the Mint used to strike regular issue 1863 Liberty Eagles with the exception of the presence of the motto GOD OUR TRUST on a scroll in the upper-reverse field. Struck in copper with a reeded edge.<br />     This handsome near-Gem is awash in deep, rich, reddish-copper patina. With a full strike and smooth-looking features, the surfaces are not all that far from an even higher numeric grade. A scarce type with probably no more than 25 examples in numismatic hands.
