- Amazing 1876 Pattern Trade Dollar Uniface Trial Undated (1876) Pattern Trade Dollar Uniface Reverse Hub Trial. Judd-A1876-3, Pollock-3142. Rarity-8. Polygonal Copper Planchet. MS-62 RB (PCGS). Obv: Actually the reverse of this uniface hub trial for the Judd-1475 undated pattern trade dollar. Large standing eagle with open wings grasping laurel branch and arrows, above on a raised ribbon is E PLURIBUS UNUM and surrounding is UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Below the eagle is 420 GRAINS 900 FINE and below that is TRADE DOLLAR. Rev: uniface. There are supposedly two of these known in the trial form from this hub. They were originally believed to be from 1873, but further research has placed them a few years later in 1876 when the trade dollar design was undergoing modifications. There are only a few coins struck from the dies that were created, and this hub trial is an important step on the way to seeing how the engraving will appear. An extremely rare item and well preserved with som pleasing original red present. The surfaces are free of spots and show the usual brown coloration forming an attractive patina. PCGS# 508123. Provenance: Ex: Virgil M. Brand; and from our (Bowers and Merena's) sale of the Boyd, Brand & Ryder Collections, March 1990, lot 2214. The plate coin for the type in the 10th edition of the Judd pattern reference. PCGS Population: 1; none finer.
