Description

The 1870 Proof Eagle Pattern - J-1035 is a proof eagle pattern struck at the Philadelphia Mint, part of the Standard Silver Patterns (1870) series. It was struck from the regular 1870 eagle dies. USPatterns.com regards the 1870 off-metal strikings from regular dies as pieces made for sale to collectors in complete sets, cent through double eagle, rather than true die trials. Four copper examples are confirmed, one of them later gilt, and one is in the Durham Museum. NGC's census also lists gilt examples of this number. It is struck in copper with a reeded edge. USPatterns.com rates it R-7. It is also catalogued as Pollock-1170 and Adams-Woodin 831. Cataloged as PCGS #61284.
