Mostly Red Gem 1880 Coiled Hair
Goloid Metric Dollar, Judd-1655

1880 $1 Goloid Metric Dollar, Judd-1655, Pollock-1855, R.7, PR65 Red and Brown PCGS. A head of Liberty with her hair braided and coiled at the back of her head faces left. A band inscribed LIBERTY encircles her hair. There are 13 stars at the border, 7 left and 6 right. The inscription 15.3 - G. 236.7 - S. 28 - C. 14 GRAMS is centered within a circle of 38 stars on the reverse. The legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and the denomination GOLOID METRIC DOLLAR are above the circle, and the motto DEO EST GLORIA and 100 CENTS are below. The reverse is one of very few patterns to express the denomination in two different ways. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. Only a dozen examples are known of this rare pattern. This is a lovely piece whose original red surfaces show just the slightest mellowing of brown patina. The fields are bright and reflective, the devices display a noticeable overlay of mint frost. An outstanding example of the popular Coiled Hair design.
