<B>1878 $5 Five Dollar, Judd-1569, Pollock-1760, Low R.7, PR67 Brown PCGS.</B></I> The widely spaced motto E PLURIBUS UNUM follows the obverse border with the 1878 date below a bust of Liberty. Her hair is bound in a bun behind the head, and her headband is inscribed LIBERTY. The reverse has a spread-wing eagle similar to that of the issued Morgan dollar, although the wings point downward. The legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA follows the upper border with the motto IN GOD WE TRUST just below. At the bottom is the denomination, FIVE DOL. Struck in copper with a reeded edge.<BR> This exemplary Superb Gem appears golden-brown from selected angles, but transforms to powder-blue once rotated beneath a light. The strike is needle-sharp, and only pinpoint flecks near the N in UNUM and the beak deny aesthetic perfection. The present piece receives the single highest numerical grade from PCGS for an example of Judd-1569 (10/07).<BR><I>From The Pelican Bay Collection of Pattern Coins.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
