<B>1860 P$5 Five Dollar, Judd-272, Pollock-320, Low R.6, PR64 Brown NGC.</B></I> The obverse introduces the right facing bust of Liberty with three large stars on her cap, a familiar motif with the Standard Silver series, but first used on Judd-271 and Judd-272. The date is quite small. The reverse features a small eagle with a curved shield, clutching the banner E PLURIBUS UNUM in its beak along with the usual olive branch and arrows in its claws. Identical to Judd-283 except for the change in date. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. This pattern was for a large diameter, thin planchet Half Eagle, designed to keep unscrupulous individuals from hollowing out gold coins and replacing their content with a less valuable metal. This well struck specimen is chocolate-brown with blue-green highlights, and is smooth aside from trivial carbon.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
