- Popular 1879 Judd-1615 Pattern Dollar Proposed Replacement for the Regular Issue Morgan Reverse 1879 Pattern Morgan Standard Dollar. Judd-1615, Pollock-1811. Rarity-6-. Silver. Reeded Edge. Proof-64 (PCGS). CAC. Obv:The same design that the Mint used to strike regular issue 1879 Morgan silver dollars. Rev:Eagle with spread wings clutches an olive branch in its right talon and three arrows in its left, both design elements extending behind the eagle's wings. The Latin motto E PLURIBUS UNUM is immediately above the eagle, the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is around the border, and the denomination ONE DOLLAR is below. Fully struck design elements are satiny in texture and contrast appreciably with reflective fields. The entire package is warmly toned in pewter and olive-gray, through which vivid undertones of champagne-gold, apricot and powder blue shine as the surfaces dip into a light. This extremely popular type with both pattern specialists and Morgan dollar enthusiasts is attributed to George T. Morgan and was prepared as a possible alternative to the regular issue reverse; that eagle motif had met with criticism from some segments of the contemporary public. Struck in both silver and copper, examples of which are of equal rarity with more than a dozen known in each composition. PCGS Population: 3; 6 finer in this category (Proof-67 finest).
