1871 Standard Silver Dollar in Copper
Judd-1135, PR65 Red CAC

1871 $1 Standard Silver Dollar, Judd-1135, Pollock-1272, Low R.7, PR65 Red PCGS. CAC. Ex: Simpson. Longacre's design with an Indian Princess seated with 13 stars around. The reverse has 1 DOLLAR within a wreath of corn and cotton, STANDARD above. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. Only a half dozen examples of this off-metal pattern are known. Denomination sets of the silver coins were sold by the Mint to contemporary 19th century collections, although it is unknown how the copper and aluminum patterns were distributed. They may also have been sold in sets. If that was the case, rarity ratings suggest that the off-metal examples were less popular than the silver patterns. Patterns with intact mint red luster are rarely encountered. This example displays rich, intact mint red with lighter shadings, especially in the center of the reverse. Fully struck throughout. This is the finest of only two PR65 Red Judd-1135 strikings certified by PCGS, by virtue of the CAC designation (9/25); a PR65 Red has also been certified at NGC, which we believe is a prior certification of the present coin. Population: 2 in 65 Red, 0 finer. CAC: 1 in 65, 0 finer (9/25).
