1872 T$1 Commercial Dollar, Judd-1216, Pollock-1357, Low R.7, PR64 Brown PCGS. CAC. William Barber's lower relief copy of James Longacre's famous Indian Princess design. Liberty is seated facing left, supporting a Liberty pole and a globe inscribed LIBERTY. Two flags are behind, one of which exhibits 13 stars. The reverse has UNITED STATES OF AMERICA above an olive wreath. GOD OUR TRUST is below the wreath on a scroll, and within the wreath are the legends COMMERCIAL / DOLLAR / 420 GRs / 900 FINE. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. Approximately a half dozen pieces are known in copper and with a reeded edge; only four are traced in copper with a plain edge. While technically brown, there is a significant amount of underlying red still visible and blue accents surround the devices on each side. The strike is pinpoint-sharp, undoubtedly because of the low relief of the lettering on the reverse.
