Description
The 1876 Proof Double Eagle Pattern - J-1489 is a proof double eagle pattern struck at the Philadelphia Mint, part of the Metric & Stella Patterns (1874-1879) series. It is one of two transitional double eagles of 1876: the obverse is in the 1877 style, with the top of Liberty's coronet centered between the sixth and seventh stars, and the reverse is the regular 1876 die reading TWENTY D. On the earlier obverses the coronet nearly touches the seventh star. Two copper examples are confirmed, one of them in the Durham Museum; both show a reverse die crack through the tops of the letters of STATES. It is struck in copper with a reeded edge. USPatterns.com rates it R-7. It is also catalogued as Pollock-1642, Adams-Woodin 1465 and Taxay EP1024. Cataloged as PCGS #61811.
