Description
This is the completed reverse die trial, in copper, of the Paquet heraldic eagle first seen unfinished on Judd-A1857-8. The eagle is set before a five-pointed star with rays, and the die was never paired with an obverse. Its date is uncertain: Judd and Pollock place it under 1857, while uspatterns suggests about 1861. It is unique, ex Lefferts (1881), Garrett and a 2019 Heritage sale.
