- 1866 Pattern Three Dollars. Judd-C1866-3, Pollock-5090. Rarity-8. Silver. Reeded Edge. MS-65 (NGC). Obv: Bust of Abraham Lincoln right with the motto GOD AND OUR COUNTRY above, date 1866 below. Rev:The denomination as a Roman numeral III is centered within an oak and laurel wreath. The wreath has some scroll ornamentation at its apex and is surmounted by a six-pointed star. Lovely satin surfaces are smooth, lustrous and framed by halos of delicate champagne-apricot iridescence. This is private issue is attributed to famed medalist Joseph H. Merriam. The uspatterns.comwebsite reports only two silver impressions with a reeded edge, the Smithsonian Institution specimen and a piece that sold in our (Bowers and Merena's) September 1989 sale of the Byron White Collection, lot 2590. As the present example lacks the spot at Lincoln's shoulder seen on the Byron White specimen, it appears to be a newcomer to the census for this rare Judd number. A pair of tiny carbon spots at the lower left obverse border should serve as useful provenance markers in future market appearances. Click here for certification details from NGC.
