- Gem Proof Pattern Dollar Rarity Judd-1129 1871 Pattern Dollar. Judd-1129, Pollock-1265. Rarity-7+. Copper. Plain Edge. Proof-65 RB (PCGS). CAC. Obv:James Barton Longacre's Indian Princess design with Liberty seated left, the date 1871 below. Liberty is wearing a feathered headdress, her right arm supporting a liberty pole and her left resting on a globe inscribed LIBERTY. Two flags are behind the portrait, one of which is ornamented with 13 stars. Rev: The same design that the Mint used to strike regular issue Liberty Seated silver dollars of the Motto type (1866 to 1873). This breathtakingly beautiful specimen exhibits iridescent overtones of blue, green, red and violet to a base of golden-copper. Carefully and perfectly struck with razor sharp design elements, broad and squared off rims, and a high wire edge. Expectably smooth for the assigned grade, and overall pristine in hand, tiny toning spots at the left obverse border, above Liberty's right hand, and above the top of the right flag helped us confirm this coin's provenance. According to the website uspatterns.com, examples of this type were sold to contemporary collectors as part of pattern Proof sets that included one example each from the half dime through silver dollar. Judd-1129 is a rarity today with only about five specimen known. Provenance: From the E. Horatio Morgan Collection. Earlier from our (Bowers and Merena's) Frederick B. Taylor Collection sale, March 1987, lot 587; Heritage Rare Coin Galleries, September 1987. Kagin's company tag with attribution notation included.
