Description

This is a hub trial showing only a reverse legend layout, the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and the denomination with nothing else. Pollock lists it under 1860 with the half eagle patterns Judd-271 and 272, because the V of FIVE is an inverted A as on those patterns; DOLLARS is misspelled DOLLERS. It is unique and is the plate coin in every edition of Judd and in Pollock.
