Patterns
1873 T$1 Trade Dollar, Judd-1293, Pollock-1435, R.4, PR62 Cameo NGC. The design is similar to the issued Trade dollar, but Liberty's left hand rests on a globe, right hand holds a staff, and plow handles are behind the globe. On the reverse, the banner bearing E PLURIBUS UNUM is clutched by the eagle's beak, which also clutches a Federal shield in place of the usual olive branch. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. This pattern was struck in silver, copper, aluminum, and white metal. The silver pieces exist with both a reeded edge (as seen here) and a plain edge. The reeded edge dollars are seen with much greater frequency than the plain edge ones. The Judd book ranks reeded edge coins as R.4, while the plain edge pieces are High R.7 (only half a dozen are known). This is a lightly hairlined example that has even, slight golden-gray patina over each side. Die opposition was obviously a problem as one can tell just from looking at the designs that oppose each other on obverse and reverse. As a result, the center of each side shows localized strike weakness.
