Judd-1126 1871 Dollar Pattern, Ex: Lemus
Extremely Rare in Silver, PR63

1871 $1 Dollar, Judd-1126, Pollock-1262, R.8, PR63 NGC. The obverse features Longacre's Indian Princess design with 13 stars on the flag behind Liberty, all in a plain field with the date below. Presumably implemented by William Barber, since Longacre died in 1869. The reverse is the regular issue With Motto Seated Liberty design. A short, raised die line from the N of IN to the G of GOD identifies this as a regular issue proof die used only in 1871. Struck in silver with a reeded edge.
This impressive Select proof exhibits excellent contrast, partly due to the combination of lustrous devices and fully mirrored fields, and partly due to the actual design, with an entirely plain field aside from the date. Lightly toned in golden shades that deepen near the rims. NGC and PCGS combined have certified only two pieces, the present coin and another graded PR66 Cameo (10/10).
