Second Pattern 1878 Morgan Dollar J1550b/P1724 in Copper 1878 Pattern Morgan Standard Dollar. Judd-1550b, Pollock-1724. Rarity-6+. Copper. Reeded Edge. Proof-66 BN (PCGS). CAC. Obv:Essentially the same design that the Mint adopted for regular issue Morgan silver dollar production in 1878. On examples of Judd-1724, as represented by the coin in this lot, the point of the truncation of Liberty's neck is centered between star 1 and the digit 1 in the date. Additionally, the wheat ear at the top of Liberty's portrait touches the letter R in PLURIBUS. Rev:Also very similar in design to that adopted for the regular issue Morgan dollar series, but there are two important differences. First, there are no notches on the undersides of the eagle's wings where they join the torso. Second, there are three leaves on the branch in the eagle's right talon, all of which are clustered at the end of the branch. An exquisite Gem, both sides reveal iridescent undertones of cobalt blue and antique gold on otherwise olive and copper-brown surfaces. Gently mirrored fields support frosty, fully impressed, razor sharp design elements. Expertly preserved with eye appeal to spare. As a type, this is the copper counterpart to the silver Judd-1550a specimen offered above, although struck from a different obverse die. Rarer in this metallic composition with the uspatterns.comwebsite accounting for only "about a half dozen known in copper." PCGS Population: 3 in all grades, all categories. PCGS# 11110.
