Patterns
1870 $1 Indian Princess Dollar, Judd-1019, Pollock-1154, High R.7, PR65 Cameo PCGS. CAC. Ex: Denali Collection. James Longacre's Indian Princess design in dollar format. The obverse features Liberty seated, left (facing) hand grasping a pole with Phrygian cap on top, right hand resting on a globe, conjoined flags behind. The reverse is of the regular design for the Seated dollar. Struck in aluminum with a plain edge. Aluminum patterns are of the greatest rarity. It was not until 1886 that it became commercially feasible to produce aluminum with the Hall-Héroult process. As a result, patterns struck in aluminum are (almost) invariably much scarcer than their silver, copper, or nickel counterparts. USPatterns.com estimates only three examples are known of this plain edge variant with another three estimated known with a reeded edge. This is a lovely, bright, unoxidized aluminum dollar that is deeply mirrored in the fields with the usual (for aluminum) thickly frosted devices. Brilliant throughout and fully struck.
