1876 Sailor Head Dollar in Copper
Judd-1463, PR66+ Brown

1876 $1 Sailor Head Dollar, Judd-1463, Pollock-1613, R.7, PR66+ Brown PCGS. CAC. Ex: Simpson. William Barber's Sailor Head motif dominates the obverse. The coronet is inscribed LIBERTY. The periphery includes IN GOD WE TRUST, the date, and 13 tiny stars. The reverse displays an open laurel wreath with ONE / DOLLAR in the center. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and E PLURIBUS UNUM surround the border. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. Also struck in silver, but only two such pieces are known. Of the copper impressions seven have been pedigreed by Saul Teichman and published on USPatterns.com. Curiously, there is also single plain edge copper piece known. This is a magnificent example whose brown surfaces have taken on a pronounced blue tint over each side. The underlying proof mirrors flash prominently through the patina. A high-grade, problem-free example of this popular pattern design.
