Description
1879 William Barber Dollar in White Metal
Judd-1607, Unique, PR61
1879 $1 Dollar, Judd-1607, Pollock-1803, R.8, PR61 PCGS.
Similar to the "Washlady" design, this is one of William Barber's
creations, though, rather than his son's. On the obverse, the head
of Liberty faces left with the motto IN GOD WE TRUST above and the
date below. There are 13 stars on the left and right portions of
the obverse rim, 7 left and 6 right. On the reverse, a
spread-winged eagle is in the center, surrounded by a laurel wreath
with E PLURIBUS UNUM set directly in the field in small letters. At
the top of that side is UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and below is ONE
DOLLAR. Struck in white metal with a reeded edge. Pollock believes
this pattern may be unique in white metal. This piece has only been
offered one other time since the Branigan Sale in 1978 -- an
appearance in our May 2003 Central States Auction. This offering
presents the pattern collector with a once-in-a-generation
opportunity to acquire this rarity. There are several distinctive
contact marks that identify this important coin, including a small
dig between stars 3 and 4, a short, diagonal mark on Liberty's
jawline, a shallow scratch in the field between star 1 and
Liberty's upper neck. The surfaces are brilliant throughout and the
fields deeply mirrored.Ex: Branigan Collection (Bowers and Ruddy, 8/78), lot 1844; and possibly also Ex: Waldo Newcomer; W. H. Woodin; The Palace Collection of King Farouk (Sotheby's, 1954), lot 1999; Central States Signature (Heritage, 5/2003), lot 7135, where it brought $9775.
