Description

Copper Striking of the 1865 Gold Dollar
Judd-438, PR63 Brown

1865 G$1 Gold Dollar, Judd-438, Pollock-511, Low R.7, PR63 Brown NGC. Ex: Simpson. Both obverse and reverse dies are the design adopted for use on regular-issue gold dollar coinage in 1865. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. While termed as a dies trial striking, there was no need for a copper gold dollar. These pieces were most likely struck for inclusion in copper 1865 sets of With Motto half eagle, eagle, and double eagles. Nevertheless, they are seldom seen and we doubt that as many as 12 pieces exist in all grades, as indicated by USPatterns.com. This is a uniformly dark brown example with a few light contact marks.
From The Bob Simpson Collection.
