1851 Silver Dollar in Copper
Judd-132 Restrike, PR65 Brown
Attractive Sky-Blue Toning

1851 Silver Dollar, Judd-132 Restrike, Pollock-159, Low R.7, PR65 Brown NGC. Struck from the dies for proof restrike OC-P4 1851 Seated dollars. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. Mint Director James Ross Snowden responded to collector demand for the 1851 silver dollar by including it in his restrike program in 1859, but copper specimens did not appear at auction until the F.S. Edwards Sale (Edward Cogan, 10/1865), lot 1995. Per Osburn-Cushing, the first use of the reverse die was to coin original proof 1865 Seated dollars. USPatterns.com states that "in copper, about a dozen examples are believed to exist." The present Gem is noteworthy for its lovely sky-blue toning. Hints of olive-green and straw-gold patina visit the lower-right obverse margin. The strike is intricate, and the sole identifier is a small spot between star 5 and Liberty's left (facing) shoulder. Census: 2 in 65 Brown, 1 finer (3/23).
