Patterns
1870 $1 Standard Silver Dollar, Judd-996, Pollock-1127, High R.7, PR64 Deep Cameo PCGS. CAC. A design by William Barber shows Liberty seated facing left, with 13 stars ringing the rim and the date 1870 in exergue. She holds a shield with her right hand and an olive branch in her left. A cap rests atop a Liberty pole, and a scroll crosses the shield with LIBERTY. On the reverse a wreath of corn and cotton encloses 1 / DOLLAR, the latter in an upcurving arc, with STANDARD in tiny letters at the upper rim. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. Examples were struck in silver, copper, and aluminum -- in both reeded edge and plain edge variants. The silver pieces, whether reeded or plain edge, have approximately the same number of survivors known -- about a dozen each. This is an all-brilliant example with stark contrast seen between the deeply mirrored fields and heavily frosted devices. This design is always a collector favorite, and this particular Deep Cameo example is unsurpassable in terms of eye appeal.
