<B>1878 $5 Five Dollar, Judd-1574, Pollock-1766, High R.6, PR66 Red Cameo PCGS.</B></I> William Barber's design that shows the head of Liberty wearing a band inscribed LIBERTY incused with E PLURIBUS UNUM around the margin. This portrait is similar in design to the famous $4 Flowing Hair Stella pattern. The reverse has an alert perched eagle with raised wings. Struck in copper with a reeded edge.<BR> This is an outstanding brick-red Premium Gem. The strike is absolute, and the color is seamless aside from a couple of unimportant gray flecks. Careful rotation fails to discover any hairlines. PCGS has certified six pieces across all grades, with the present piece as the single finest (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>)
