Full Red Gem Proof 1870 Indian Princess Pattern Dollar, Judd-1010

1870 $1 Standard Silver Dollar, Judd-1010, Pollock-1143, R.7, PR65 Red and Brown Cameo NGC. A beautiful and rare example of James B. Longacre's Indian Princess design that features Liberty seated beside a globe, wearing an Indian headdress. The word LIBERTY is inscribed across the center of the globe and Liberty is holding a pole topped with Phrygian cap. The reverse features the word STANDARD at the top with 1 DOLLAR encompassed by a wreath of cotton and corn. This design was apparently based on a sketch Longacre made prior to 1852, but it was not until 1870 that he made use of it and adapted it on a number of different pattern coins. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. A fabulous and fully original example of this copper pattern with blazing mint red color and deeply mirrored fields with sharply contrasting, frosted devices. The only surface flaws we see on this fabulous piece are Mint-made, a trio of shallow planchet flaws above, to the left, and just below the denomination on the reverse. An important, high grade survivor of this rare and popular design.
