- 1879 Pattern Goloid Metric Dollar. Judd-1617, Pollock-1813. Rarity-4. Silver (Metric Alloy). Reeded Edge. Proof-55 (PCGS). Obv:A head of Liberty faces left with the Latin motto E PLURIBUS UNUM above, the date 1879 below, and 13 stars arranged around the border seven left and six right. Liberty is wearing a coronet inscribed LIBERTY. Rev:The inscription 895.8 S. / 4.2 - G. / 100 - C. / 25 GRAMS is centered within a beaded circle, outside of which is a wreath of corn and cotton. The Latin motto DEO EST GLORIA is inscribed within an ornamental cartouche at the top of the wreath. The legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is inscribed along the upper border and the denomination ONE DOLLAR is inscribed along the lower border. Boldly to sharply defined overall, this otherwise bright silver gray example exhibits blushes of russet toning here and there around the peripheries. Scarce and always in demand by collectors as this metric dollar is one of the more popular designs and sizes for any pattern issue. The uspatterns.comwebsite offers the following about Judd-1617: "William Barber's metric dollar design with an obverse similar to the one used on the $50 half union patterns of 1877, Judd-1546/Pollock-1719. This may have been executed by his son Charles. These were sold in sets along with J-1635/P-1833 and J-1626/P-1822 to congressman for $6.10 and later to collectors for $15." PCGS# 61995.
