Patterns
1880 $1 Metric Dollar, Judd-1649, Pollock-1849, R.7, PR65 Red and Brown PCGS. George T. Morgan's Liberty Head design as also on Judd-1622-1625. Liberty's hair is done up in a bun, with a ribbon inscribed LIBERTY in incuse letters, the Latin motto above, stars seven left, six right. The reverse offers a wreath of cotton and wheat, with inner circle of dots enclosing 895.8 S. / 4.2--G. / 100--C. / 25 GRAMS. DEO EST GLORIA ("God is glory / To God be the glory") appears in a cartouche, with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and ONE DOLLAR at the rim. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. Designed to be a part of goloid compositional test coins, it is not known if any pieces actually exist in that alloy. This, of course, was never intended to even simulate goloid. The copper surfaces are called Red and Brown, but in reality the red luster is only slightly mellowed. This example should please collectors of both Red and Red and Brown copper patterns. No noticeable or mentionable contact marks are seen on either side.
