Description
The 1860 Proof Half Eagle Pattern - J-272 is a proof half eagle struck at the Philadelphia Mint, part of the Civil War Patterns (1860-1865) series. Struck on eagle-size planchets as an anti-counterfeiting experiment, this half eagle design has a die blunder: the V in FIVE is an inverted A. It is struck in copper with a reeded edge; USPatterns rates it R-6. Catalogued as Judd-272, Pollock-320, A/W 323, Taxay EP295. Cataloged as PCGS #12078.
