Pricing & History
1875 $5 Sailor Head Five Dollar, Judd-1439, Pollock-1582, R.6-7, PR64 Gilt NGC. William Barber's "Sailor Head" design with a left facing bust of Liberty on the obverse encircled by 13 stars around the periphery. Liberty is wearing a coronet inscribed LIBERTY, the date 1875 is at the lower border. An eagle that is very similar to that used on both the Trade Dollar and the Twenty Cent piece dominates the reverse motif. E PLURIBUS UNUM is in the field above the eagle's head, the motto IN GOD WE TRUST is on a scroll in the lower field, and the legend and denomination are at the borders. This design was also used on twenty cent and eagle patterns of 1875, dollar patterns of 1876 and 1877, and dime, quarter, half dollar, and dollar patterns. Struck in copper and then gilt to resemble a gold striking, with a reeded edge. This is a lovely piece that only shows a few slight areas of the original copper surface. Unlisted as such in either the Pollock reference or . Grade: 64, Service: NGC, Service No.: 71746, Issue Date: 1875, Denomination: $5, Variety: J-1439
