Description
1885 Morgan Dollar in Aluminum
Judd-1750, PR65
1885 $1 Dollar, Judd-1750, Pollock-1963, R.8, PR65 PCGS. Ex:
Simpson. Both obverse and reverse were struck from the dies used to
coin regular-issue 1885 Morgan dollars. Struck in aluminum with a
reeded edge. According to the USPatterns.com website, although this
pattern is described as a regular dies trial piece in the
literature, it is believed that these were actually deliberately
struck for sale to collectors as part of complete off-metal sets.
However, only two sets of this year are believed to have been
struck, and both of the aluminum dollars from these sets are still
extant today. The original brightness of the aluminum has taken on
just a bit of haziness over each side. Still deeply reflective in
the fields. Identifiable by a shallow planchet flaw below the N in
UNUM.Ex: Waldo Newcomer; unknown intermediaries; Long Beach Signature (Heritage 9/2003), lot 8679, where it realized $18,975; Southern Collection.
