Patterns
1878 $1 Goloid Dollar, Judd-1560, Pollock-1752, High R.7, PR64 Cameo PCGS. CAC. Goloid dollar design with a large head of Liberty on the obverse facing left, a wide band holds the hair together and is inscribed LIBERTY. The reverse has the statutory requirements mostly in the center with GOLOID. /1--G./24--S./.9 FINE. 258 GRS. is below. A circle of stars provides an inner border, outside of which is UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and ONE DOLLAR. Struck in goloid alloy (4% gold, 89% silver, 7% copper) with a plain edge. The Judd number, 1560, specifically states "goloid" and number 1561 is set aside for silver strikings. We have no paperwork that would indicate such a test was conducted, but two reputable sources inform by default that this must be goloid. The fields on this piece are blindingly bright with nicely frosted devices. A couple of shallow lint marks are located on the face of Liberty, and there are a couple of pinscratches on the back of the holder that may deceive some into thinking these are actual surface distractions (they are not).
