1865 Copper Gold Dollar
Judd-438, PR63 Brown

1865 G$1 Gold Dollar, Judd-438, Pollock-511, Low R.7, PR63 Brown PCGS. 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. These enigmatic pieces are explained in USPatterns.com as, "Although these are described as regular die trial pieces in the standard references, it is more likely that the off-metal 'trials' of this year were deliberately struck for sale to collectors as part of complete gold and copper sets of this year containing the with motto half eagle, eagle and double eagle." About a dozen examples are known. The glossy, deep brown surfaces show full striking details and there are no noticeable contact marks.
