Description
The 1868 Proof Eagle Pattern - J-664 is a proof eagle pattern struck at the Philadelphia Mint, part of the Reconstruction Era Patterns (1866-1869) series. It was struck from the regular 1868 eagle dies. According to USPatterns.com, the Mint struck its 1868 aluminum pieces from regular dies to show how well the metal coined and sold them to collectors in cased sets. USPatterns.com believes Pollock's copper listing for this die pair (P-738) is an error for J-662. It is struck in aluminum with a reeded edge. USPatterns.com rates it R-7. It is also catalogued as Pollock-739 and Adams-Woodin 649. Cataloged as PCGS #60882.
