Patterns
1879 $1 Dollar, Judd-1607, Pollock-1803, R.8, PR61 PCGS. Similar to the "Washlady" design, this is one of William Barber's creations, though, rather than his son's. On the obverse, the head of Liberty faces left with the motto IN GOD WE TRUST above and the date below. There are 13 stars on the left and right portions of the obverse rim, 7 left and 6 right. On the reverse, a spread-winged eagle is in the center, surrounded by a laurel wreath with E PLURIBUS UNUM set directly in the field in small letters. At the top of that side is UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and below is ONE DOLLAR. Struck in white metal with a reeded edge. Pollock believes this pattern may be unique in white metal. This piece has only been offered one other time since the Branigan Sale in 1978 -- an appearance in our May 2003 Central States Auction. This offering presents the pattern collector with a once-in-a-generation opportunity to acquire this rarity. There are several distinctive contact marks that identify this important coin, including a small dig between stars 3 and 4, a short, diagonal mark on Liberty's jawline, a shallow scratch in the field between star 1 and Liberty's upper neck. The surfaces are brilliant throughout and the fields deeply mirrored.
Ex: Branigan Collection (Bowers and Ruddy, 8/78), lot 1844; and possibly also Ex: Waldo Newcomer; W. H. Woodin; The Palace Collection of King Farouk (Sotheby's, 1954), lot 1999; Central States Signature (Heritage, 5/2003), lot 7135, where it brought $9775.
From The Siegel Collection.
