Description

The 1875 Proof Eagle Pattern - J-1445a is a proof eagle pattern struck at the Philadelphia Mint, part of the Metric & Stella Patterns (1874-1879) series. It carries William Barber's Sailor Head obverse, used the same year on twenty-cent and half eagle patterns, and a matching half eagle was made (J-1438 to J-1440a). The single white metal example was in Director Linderman's collection and was probably struck for him. It is struck in white metal with a reeded edge. USPatterns.com lists it as unique.
