Description
Struck in white metal, this finished reverse die trial shows a heraldic eagle by Anthony C. Paquet; Pollock records that Paquet made it on July 6, 1857 for Dr. J. T. Barclay. It is not the regular double eagle reverse but a separate Paquet design, and pieces exist both die struck and cast. Judd records five; uspatterns traces four, including the cast original Judd plate coin. Paquet's related eagles are the die trials Judd-A1857-8 and A1857-9 and the hub trial Judd-A1857-5.
