1880 $1 Metric Dollar, Judd-1646, Pollock-1846, R.7, PR65 Red and Brown PCGS. The first of two examples of William Barber's Metric dollar, with Liberty wearing a coronet with a border of pearls. The reverse is quite elaborate with a partial wreath of cotton and corn tied at the base, a ribbon, and the motto DEO EST GLORIA within a cartouche above. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. The surfaces retain more original red than brown, with just the faintest mellowing visible and dabs of light blue in the fields.
From The Siegel Collection.
