Description

The 1876 Proof Half Eagle Pattern - J-1484 is a proof half eagle pattern struck at the Philadelphia Mint, part of the Metric & Stella Patterns (1874-1879) series. It was struck from the regular 1876 half eagle dies. USPatterns.com believes the 1876 copper strikings from regular dies were made for sale to collectors in sets, which were only partly complete that year. Three copper examples are confirmed, one of them gilt. It is struck in copper with a reeded edge. USPatterns.com rates it R-8. It is also catalogued as Pollock-1637 and Adams-Woodin 1472. Cataloged as PCGS #61806.
