1879 Metric Dollar in Silver or Goloid
Judd-1622, PR67 Cameo

1879 $1 Metric Dollar, Judd-1622, Pollock-1818, Low R.7, PR67 Cameo PCGS. Metric dollar pattern designed by George Morgan, featuring a rarely used head of Liberty with hair brushed back and fastened in a bun and with a wide ribbon at the top of the head. The reverse is the standard Metric dollar design with DEO EST GLORIA featured prominently above the composition in the center. Struck in silver or goloid with a reeded edge. This is one of the designs that would have been included in three-coin sets alongside a Coiled Hair stella and a Goloid Metric dollar. All three formed part of Dr. William Wheeler Hubbell's failed scheme for an international coinage. About a dozen examples of Judd-1622 are known. Mostly brilliant surfaces show a faint touch of golden throughout. The devices are heavily frosted against deeply reflective fields.
