Description
1759 (1999) Martha Washington Dollar in Copper-Zinc
Judd-2185a, MS64
Experimental Strike for the Blind
1759 (1999) $1 Martha Washington Dollar, Judd-2185a,
Pollock-Unlisted, MS64 NGC. 7.9 grams. The Martha Washington
design, previously used to test clad coinage circa 1965, was
revived in 1999 to test "golden" alloys for the pending Sacagawea
dollar. The importance of this particular piece is it was part of
several experiments for the blind, as seen by six notches on the
border of each side. The stated composition for this pattern is 74%
copper, 23% zinc, 2% nickel. Plain edge. We last offered one of
these "notched" dollars in our October Dallas Signature, lot 4220.
This is clearly a different piece, but the composition may actually
be identical -- the coin in the October auction had the composition
carried out to the tenth of a percent, where this one is rounded to
the nearest whole number. The weight is also nearly identical: 7.94
grams vs. 7.9 grams. The surfaces are different, however, with even
browning over each side but bright underlying flash from the
copper-zinc alloy.Coin Index Numbers: (PCGS# 511836, Greysheet# 261881)
