- The FINEST PCGS-graded example of this very rare “Goloid” dollar pattern, struck in goloid (an alloy of 5.46% gold, 84.54% silver, and 10% copper) with a reeded edge. The coiled hair design designed by George Morgan is very similar to the graceful coiled hair bust of Liberty on the extremely rare $4 Stella patterns of 1879 and 1880, and is part of the monetary system that was proposed to create a metric coinage system that would allow for more fluid international acceptance. The coin is considered to be R-7- (7-12 examples). Highly reflective mirrors are the ultimate in depth and clarity. Both sides possess a marbled, polychromatic patina that shows off amber, blue, gold, olive, tan, and russet hues. The obverse has a distinctive, nearly cameo effect that really highlights the frosty nature of the devices. The eye appeal is SUPERB. PCGS 1, NGC 1, CAC 1. Finer than the Simpson coin, which is a PCGS PR64+. The Garrett Collection coin, sold in March 1980, still holds the record, selling for $19,000. We think that with the sale of this remarkable coin that record may finally be eclipsed after nearly four decades! Good luck! Cert. Number 28537584 PCGS # 62009
