Lot 1828
1879 Pattern Metric Dollar. Silver, reeded edge. Judd-1617. Pollock-1813, Rarity-3. PCGS graded Proof 63. Toned with a generous amount of irregular gray gold on both sides, and there appears to be a streak through the jaw line of Liberty's jaw which extends into the field near the fourth star, and this probably accounts for the grade. This has the appearance of a rubber band burn and small flecks of metal are missing from her chin area, or perhaps the planchet was defective. Boldly struck and generally well preserved otherwise, and we note some faint lines on Liberty's face from handling. PCGS has graded 9 as such, with 17 higher (PCGS # 61995) .
Estimated Value $1,400 - 1,700.
From the Benson collection and purchased from Hollinbeck Stamp & Coin Company circa 1944-46 as lot 1576.
