1879 $1 Morgan Dollar, Judd-1613, Pollock-1809, Low R.7, PR65 PCGS. The obverse is the regular-issue Morgan dollar die, but the reverse is yet another modified version like the Judd-1611 and Judd-1612, with the eagle similar but lower in the field. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is in large letters (compared to the remainder of the lettering), with ONE DOLLAR at the bottom smaller, and IN GOD WE TRUST in similarly small letters in an inner arc above the eagle. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. Struck in both silver and copper with more than a dozen pieces known in each metal. This is deeply mirrored example with spectacular rainbow toning over each side.
