1849 $1 J-116 MS62 PCGS #11505

CAC - High R.7 - Struck in gold-silver-copper alloy with a plain edge. The only CAC endorsed example. These extremely rare patterns were had cut by James Longacre and not die struck. This is the only U.S. pattern that was hand engraved. The necessity for hand-engraving and the larger history of these pieces is covered in an in-depth article in The Numismatist in October 2011, written by Ed Rector. In short, these patterns were emergency issues that were hand-engraved to simulate what a struck coin would look like with a square hole in it. They were needed in a hurry because a lame-duck Congressman from North Carolina, James Iver McKay, was pressing hard for the issuance of the pieces (mostly as an outlet for the gold mines from his native state). By January 26, 1849 Congressman McKay was in possession of one of these pieces. On January 30, six additional specimens were produced and sent by Mint Director Robert Maskell Patterson to other Congressmen. "The surfaces of this piece are bright with significant speckling on each side, presumably from the copper in the alloy." Ex. The Bob R. Simpson Collection.
