Description
The 1861 Proof Double Eagle Pattern - J-288 is a proof double eagle struck at the Philadelphia Mint, part of the Civil War Patterns (1860-1865) series. It is a copper double eagle from the regular dies on a concave planchet, struck without a collar; an 1887 Mint list of patterns describes such a piece, and one collector suggests it is a misstruck J-289. It is struck in copper with a reeded edge; USPatterns rates it R-8. Catalogued as Judd-288, Pollock-346, A/W 336, Taxay EP311. Cataloged as PCGS #60434.
