Patterns
1864 $1 Dollar, Judd-396, Pollock-464, Low R.7, PR62 NGC. The obverse die is that of the regular issue 1864 Seated dollar. The reverse is also similar to that issue, but the motto IN GOD WE TRUST is present on a scroll over the eagle. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. This is another backdated With Motto issue that was created for sale to collectors, probably in 1869 and into the 1870s. The reverse die used on these pieces is from the same regular proof dies and that also used on some 1871 patterns that shows scribe lines just below the dentils above the E in UNITED and above the ST of STATES. USPatterns.com shows excellent enlargements that feature this side-by-side comparison of the two dates. Probably a dozen pieces are known that were struck in silver. Examples are also known in copper, aluminum, and nickel. The fields are nicely mirrored and each side exhibits even, slightly variegated rose-lilac toning.
