Description
The 1874 Proof Eagle Pattern - J-1374 is a proof eagle pattern struck at the Philadelphia Mint, part of the Metric & Stella Patterns (1874-1879) series. It is Dana Bickford's international eagle, a proposal for a coin that would show what it was worth in the money of several nations: the reverse is divided into compartments giving the amount in dollars and in European currencies, with the weight and fineness at the center. It was struck on thin planchets the diameter of a double eagle. Over 20 are known in copper with a reeded edge, including two in the American Numismatic Society and one in the Connecticut State Library, and many have been gilt. NGC's census also lists gilt examples of this Judd number. It is struck in copper with a reeded edge. USPatterns.com rates it R-6. It is also catalogued as Pollock-1519, Adams-Woodin 1367 and Taxay EP962. Cataloged as PCGS #61678.
