1880 $1 Goloid Metric Dollar, Judd-1654, Pollock-1854, Low R.7, PR66 PCGS. CAC. Liberty faces left with her hair braided into a coil at the back of the head. The reverse presents a circle of 38 stars enclosing a four-line description of alloy. Outside the circle are the legends DEO EST GLORIA and GOLOID METRIC DOLLAR. Struck in "goloid" with a reeded edge. This high-grade example appears brilliant upon first glance, although the reverse displays a few minute tan-brown freckles. The surfaces are essentially as made, with moderate roller marks on the central reverse, and infrequent minor flan imperfections, likely due to Mint unfamiliarity with the goloid alloy.
