Description

The 1867 Proof Half Eagle Pattern - J-599 is a proof half eagle pattern struck at the Philadelphia Mint, part of the Reconstruction Era Patterns (1866-1869) series. It was struck from the regular 1867 Liberty Head half eagle dies, so its design matches the regular coin; only the metal differs. Judd lists it in copper with a reeded edge, and USPatterns.com rates it R-7. Judd classes it as a die trial, a strike from regular dies in a metal other than the coin's own. USPatterns.com believes the copper pieces of 1867 were struck for complete sets sold to collectors. About half a dozen are known. It is catalogued as Judd-599, Pollock-665, Adams-Woodin 604. Cataloged as PCGS #60811.
