Lot 1797
Stunning 1872 Commercial Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 64 BN. Barber's Indian princess married to the ornate reverse with a double cornucopia between the words by which this piece has come to be known. Reeded Edge. P-1357. The faint hairlines fade even more once you just let yourself appreciate the beauty of this specimen, which has no spots or other problems at all. The look is one of variegated chocolates mixed with hints of the original mint red. Here indeed is a classic--carrying as it does all the symbols of America, making for one of the finest of our pattern designs. Indian, flag, globe on which the only country is the USA, Liberty cap on a pole, 13 stars, proclamation of freedom, "the rock," the agricultural wreath, GOD OUR TRUST motto, proposed fineness in grains, and the aforementioned cornucopia--this coin has it all.
