1873 T$1 Trade Dollar, Judd-1281, Pollock-1423, R.4, PR65 PCGS. CAC. Ex: H.W. Bass, Jr. Collection. The obverse, designed by J. A. Bailly, features a coiled hair bust of Liberty facing left. The reverse resembles the Amazonian pattern silver dollar, except for a reduction in the size of the eagle and the addition of the motto E PLURIBUS UNUM above and the weight and fineness below. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. The fields are deeply mirrored on each side and there is significant mint frost over the devices, the combination yielding a cameo contrast (although officially unacknowledged). Attractive golden-rose toning is a couple of shades deeper on the obverse and generally just seen around the reverse margin.
