WHOA! Get a load of this immaculate J-1629 Goloid dollar! We have handled thousands of AMAZING patterns, but this coin is what dreams are made of! This coin is of such high end quality and is FLAWLESS that it almost looks too good to be real! It really is a fantastic, SUPERB example of the smaller sized Goloid Metric dollar and is easily among the VERY FINEST of all Goloid dollars, regardless of Judd number! Featuring William Barber's Liberty head design on the obverse and the Goloid composition on the reverse, this pattern is rated R-7+ (fewer than half a dozen known) and is struck in aluminum with a Reeded Edge. The technical qualities are all there and then some on this SUPERB GEM. The aluminum surfaces have a semi-lustrous reflective character in the fields. The devices are very well struck with full definition on both sides. Unlike many patterns struck in aluminum, this one lacks any distracting hairlines, corrosion, or any other post minting issues that usually plague coins in this composition. The eye appeal is quite high end. It is also fresh to the market, coming to us from a client who put it away many years ago. It is ex. Lester Merkin's March 1968 Auction, lot 360. It is our great pleasure to offer this magnificent coin to the current generation of collectors. PCGS 1, NGC 0, CAC 1. There are no recent auction records for a J-1629 in any grade. The most recent example to sell was the Tree Many Feathers coin in November 2001. The Garrett Coin, which is now graded PCGS PR69, is in the Simpson Collection and will not be available anytime soon! A grand opportunity not to be missed by any advanced collector of patterns. It may well be a VERY long time until another comes up for sale! Cert. Number 26496475 PCGS # 062007
