1851 Silver Dollar in Copper
Judd-132 Restrike, PR64 Brown

1851 DT$1 Dollar, Judd-132 Restrike, Pollock-159, Low R.7, PR64 Brown PCGS. Ex: Simpson. Struck from the dies for proof restrike OC-P4 1851 Seated dollars. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. Possibly as many as eight or nine of these copper proofs exist, according to Saul Teichman at USPatterns.com. He records the provenance and provides illustrations for nine examples, perhaps with duplication. This Choice proof retains traces of mint red on its rich mahogany-brown surfaces. A few toning spots aid in identification. These varieties are restrikes struck well after the 1851 date that is shown on the coins. Past observers have suggested that they were made in the late 1850s, but new evidence suggests they might have been produced in the mid-1860s. PCGS has certified three examples in PR63 Brown, this coin in PR64 Brown, and two in PR64 Red and Brown (12/23).
