Lot 1235
1865 Pattern Dollar. Copper, reeded edge. Judd-435. Pollock-508. Low Rarity 7. PCGS graded Proof 66 Brown. Lovely shades of rainbow toning on both sides supported by light pinkish lilac tones. The obverse die is the same as that of the regular issue 1865 Seated Liberty Dollar, while the reverse is that of the regular issue 1866 and 1867 Seated Dollars with the motto IN GOD WE TRUST on a scroll over the eagle. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. This important transitional Pattern is similar in rarity to its Judd-434 silver alloy counterpart. A bold and carefully struck Gem with dominating pastel shaded colors, although the fields and highpoints offer gentle reflective qualities from the near-pristine mirror surfaces. A few nearly invisible hairlines in the field and nowhere do we find any marks or spots.Pop 1; none finer at PCGS. (PCGS # 60620) .
Note: Patterns with the motto IN GOD WE TRUST on the reverse were struck not only for the silver set of quarter dollar, half dollar and dollar, but also for the gold set of half eagle, eagle and double eagle.
Estimated Value $17,000 - 19,000.
