1871 Gold Dollar in Aluminum
Judd-1162, PR64 Cameo
Possibly Unique

1871 G$1 Gold Dollar, Judd-1162, Pollock-1304, R.8, PR64 Cameo PCGS. CAC. Ex: Simpson. The regular-issue Type Three gold dollar design. Struck in aluminum with a reeded edge. While USPatterns.com reports fewer than three examples of Judd-1162 known, we believe this pattern issue may be unique. It is the same example listed by Pollock, the one that appeared publicly in 2010. That was the first appearance of any Judd-1162 since 1979. Apparently, this is the second.

Brilliant surfaces are frosty and contrasted. A touch of strike softness occurs over the middle portion of Liberty's curls and the highest points of the wreath elements. Otherwise razor-sharp.
