Gem RB Proof 1875 Sailor Head Eagle Pattern Judd-1444, Rarity-7- 1875 Pattern Sailor Head Eagle. Judd-1444, Pollock-1588. Rarity-7-. Copper. Reeded Edge. Proof-65 RB (NGC). Obv: head of Liberty left, an ornament and LIBERTY on her tiara, ribbon in tightly coiffed hair, 13 six-pointed stars around, date below. Rev: eagle after the style of that on the 20-cent pieces of the era, E PLURIBUS UNUM in the field above the eagle, IN GOD WE TRUST on a ribbon below, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TEN DOLLARS around. The surfaces are satiny with reflective fields and lightly frosted motifs that glow in rich shades of copper-brown and red-brown with race amounts of royal blue on the high points of the design. The strike is bold and all of Barber's tiniest details are plainly evident. The uspatterns.com website notes that this is: "William Barber's Sailor Head design. It was also used on 20-cents and half eagle patterns of 1875, dollar patterns of 1876, and in 1877 on dime, quarter, half dollar, and dollar patterns." Choice for the grade and absolutely worthy of strong bidder support among pattern aficionados. Numismatic Reflections by Q. David Bowers As a class, patterns of the twenty-cent denomination, made only briefly and across a number of interesting designs, have always been in strong demand. Watch this one go! PCGS# 71752. Provenance: From our (Stack's) session of Auction '89, July 1989, lot 1866; and Heritage's sale of the Lemus Collection, Queller Family Collection Part II, January 2009, lot 1862.
