Patterns
1879 $1 Goloid Metric Dollar, Judd-1626, Pollock-1822, R.4, PR66 NGC. William Barber's design for the Goloid Metric dollar with a capped head of Liberty on the obverse, paired with a reverse that carries the statutory as well as elemental inscriptions. A circle of stars about the central inscriptions breaks the otherwise continuous wording. Allegedly struck in goloid (a silver alloy that includes a small portion of gold) with a reeded edge. We say "allegedly" because none have undergone elemental testing. This piece certainly has the appearance of silver. While a frequently encountered pattern, surprisingly few examples are known in high grades. NGC shows two others in this grade with six finer (3/17). The surfaces are brilliant throughout with little contrast apparent. The fields are deeply mirrored and there are no obvious or mentionable contact marks on either side.
