1870 Indian Princess Dollar in Copper
Judd-1011, PR64 Red

1870 $1 Standard Silver Dollar, Judd-1011, Pollock-1144, Low R.7, PR64 Red PCGS. Ex: Simpson. The Indian Princess design was James B. Longacre's version of the Seated Liberty concept, introduced in 1870. The design features Liberty seated beside a globe, wearing an Indian headdress. The word LIBERTY is inscribed across the center of the globe and Liberty is holding a pole topped with a Phrygian cap. The reverse features the word STANDARD at the top with 1 / DOLLAR encompassed by a wreath of cotton and corn. Struck in copper with a reeded edge.

Longacre's design was apparently based on a sketch that he made prior to 1852, but it remained unused until 1870 when it was adapted on a number of different patterns. Longacre died on January 1, 1869, never to see this design on an actual coin. Just under a dozen examples of Judd-1011 are known, according to the current rarity ratings, although we are unaware of a specific census of known pieces. Each side is well-balanced with bright red mint luster dominant. The devices display significant mint frost that suggests a cameo contrast.
