Judd 664-R-7 Rarity- an amazing and rare American Gold Eagle designed by J.B Longacre. Struck in Aluminum which at the time of striking was more valuable than gold! Excellent presentation proof striking with only a few known to exist-expert USPATTERNS claims "about a half dozen are known." At least four were issued as part of aluminum pattern sets which yours truly is responsible for handling a complete set which, unfortunately the owner from the Carolina's broke up and sold piecemeal. A great rarity in the world of pattern/prototype numismatics and if considered as investment, consider the fact that about a handful of these coins exist and at such a price makes a compelling reason to set aside for a time when this coin will be worth a price commensurate with it's rarity and quality
