Patterns
1865 $1 Dollar, Judd-434, Pollock-507, Low R.7, PR62 NGC. The obverse die features the standard Seated Liberty motif used on regular-issue dollars from 1865. The reverse die consists of the familiar perched eagle design also used on circulation strikes and proofs from 1865, with the addition of a scroll above the eagle's head with the motto IN GOD WE TRUST. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. Previously said to be a "transitional" issue, this die pairing was undoubtedly struck by the Mint for sale to collectors as part of backdated With Motto coinage that stretched back to 1863. Curiously, two dies were used to strike these dollars in silver. Pieces were also produced in copper and aluminum. The surfaces of this piece shine brightly through the speckled gray-russet toning seen across each side.
