Strike Type
Coin Details
Description
Struck in copper, this hub trial shows an eagle thought to have been made by Anthony C. Paquet for a double eagle. uspatterns dates it to about 1857, alongside Paquet's eagle die trials Judd-A1857-7 to A1857-9, while noting that none of this is confirmed. A hub carries the design in relief, so an impression from it shows the design sunk into the metal. Two appear to be known.
