Lot 1635
1879 Pattern Dollar. Silver, reeded edge. . J-1613. . P-1809. PCGS graded Proof 65 Low Rarity 7. Lovely toning on both sides. The obverse is the regular die used. From the obverse Morgan dollar die of the date, as intended for Proofs, but with a tall and narrow perched eagle reverse. An mouthwatering and attractive array of toning provide elegance and refinement on both sides of this bold gem. The devices are frosted and the mirrors are deep. As the uspatterns.com website notes, "this design by Morgan is another attempt to replace the production design whose eagle was described as scrawny among other things." A very scarce pattern with unmistakably fresh looking originality. Pop 1; the finest graded at PCGS. (PCGS # 61991) .
Estimated Value $20,000 - 25,000.
