1866 $1 Dollar, Judd-540, Pollock-605, R.8, PR62 Brown NGC. A regular obverse die is paired with a With Motto reverse. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. In the past, these pieces have been termed regular dies trial strikings, but that does not seem to be the case. It is more likely these copper dollars were deliberately struck for sale to collectors. The grade is derived from light hairlining. Otherwise, the surfaces are even, deep brown over each side. Well, but not fully struck.
