1987 Half Eagle Pattern - P-5465, Tungsten
Strike TypeCoin Details
Description
The 1987 Half Eagle Pattern - P-5465, Tungsten is a private Constitution Bicentennial piece struck in tungsten. Pressed Metal Products Company struck these for Frank Zinkann as a pattern for the 1987 Constitution Bicentennial; USPatterns.com calls them a purely private venture the Mint never authorized, which Pollock should not have listed. About 80 are said to have been struck in tungsten, and they show very weak strikes because of the metal's hardness. NGC lists it as 1987 P-5465 $5, and PCGS as 1987 "$5" P-5465 Tungsten (PCGS #969590).
