Description
The ungilded copper rendering of the Liberty Head eagle, J-1174 presents the $10 design in its most forthright base-metal form. Without gold's warmth or gilding's simulation thereof, the copper eagle pattern reveals the sculptural architecture of the design with unusual clarity. The heraldic eagle's detailed feathering and the Liberty Head's fine hair detail are rendered with the precision that copper's superior malleability makes possible.
