1863 With Motto Seated Dollar
Judd-346, PR65 Red and Brown

1863 $1 Dollar, Judd-346, Pollock-418, R.7, PR65 Red and Brown PCGS. A regular issue 1863 Seated Liberty obverse die is muled with a regular issue Motto reverse die. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. Per uspatterns.com, "These and the other "with motto" patterns of this date and also 1864 and possibly 1865 are actually restrikes made circa 1869 and into the early 1870s and were offered with restrikes of the other denominations in complete sets." About a dozen examples are known of the copper strikings. The surfaces on this example retain much of the original mint red luster, just slightly mellowed. There are few distractions evident on either side, limited to a couple of tiny specks of carbon and a couple of Mint-made lint marks.
Ex: Fairfield Collection (Bowers and Ruddy, 10/1977), lot 28, flip included.
