1876 T$1 Trade Dollar, Judd-1475b, Pollock-1628, High R.7, PR64 Red and Brown NGC. Cataloged at one time as 1873 Judd-1321, modern-day numismatists believe that these pieces were struck in 1876. The obverse is similar to the regular design, but the drapery is fuller in appearance, among other differences. The reverse is likewise similar, although the eagle has larger features than the regular issue design, and leans more distinctly to the viewer's left. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. Roger Burdette located an archives document that attributes these dies to Anthony Paquet.
The present piece is the first of this variety that we have handled, and is one of only five or six known pieces in copper. A similar number of silver examples are also known. The finest known is a PR65 Red PCGS example in the Simpson Collection, according to PCGS Coin Facts. This beautiful example is undoubtedly the second finest known. Both sides have nearly full red mint luster with lightly mirrored fields and bold design elements. Delicate blue and violet tones add to the eye appeal.
