Patterns
1877 $1 Dollar, Judd-1544, Pollock-1717, R.7, PR65 Red and Brown PCGS. CAC. This unusual design shows the obverse of Liberty facing left, her hair bound by a plain (not beaded) coronet. It is this plain coronet that distinguishes this pattern from its predecessor, Judd-1543, which has a beaded coronet. The motto is in small letters above the figure of Liberty and the date is below; 13 stars ring the left and right margins. The reverse has 1 DOLLAR in the center surrounded by a wreath of corn, wheat, and cotton with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA above and E PLURIBUS UNUM below. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. Only five pieces are listed as extant on the USPatterns.com website (although theoretically others are possibly extant but unaccounted for). Of the the five piece listed, one is silver plated and another is cleaned and lacquered. The surfaces on this piece are only slightly mellowed and full red mint luster surrounds the devices on each side. In fact, the reverse shows more original red than brown. This magnificent copper dollar is among the finest known. The grading services show enigmatic population data. PCGS shows one piece certified finer, but that coin is not listed by grade on USPatterns.com. PCGS shows this coin, of course, at the PR65 Red and Brown level, and NGC also shows a PR65 Red and Brown. Apparently no Red coins are known.
