1871 Pattern Dollar. Judd-1146, Pollock-1288. Rarity-7-. Silver. Plain Edge. Proof-64 (PCGS). CAC. Obv: J.B. Longacre's seated Indian Princess as Liberty to left, hand on globe with draped ribbon that reads LIBERTY, furled flags behind, Liberty pole and cap in her right hand, 13 stars around, date below. Rev: from the regular-issue die of the circulating silver dollar of the date. Frosty central motifs and mirror fields exhibit splashes of deep golden-violet iridescence on the obverse, the reverse alive with bright and varied champagne-gold, especially among the eagle's plumage. The <em>uspatterns.com </em>website relates that Judd-1146 is: "The Longacre design with stars combined with the regular reverse. The obverse on this die show 22 stars on the flag and is often called the obverse of 1870 although this one does not have Longacre's name in the right corner. This was apparently implemented by William Barber as Longacre died in 1869. This is the most common of the Longacre dollar designs of this year." The term "most common" is misleading, as this variety is anything but common -- perhaps only a dozen or so examples of Judd-1146 can be accounted for today, a small number by any reckoning. An old "friend" among pattern issues, offered in our sale of the Harry W. Bass, Jr. Collection, Part I, May 1999, lot 1262. Absolutely worthy of a strong bid.&nbsp;
