Description
1871 Standard Silver Dollar
Struck in Aluminum
Judd-1124, PR67★ Cameo
1871 $1 Standard Silver Dollar, Judd-1124, Pollock-1260, R.8,
PR67★ Cameo NGC. Ex: Lemus. The obverse is the Indian Princess
design of James B. Longacre, in a plain or starless field. His
initials J.B.L. appear at the lower right of Liberty's rock, in the
field. The date 1871 is below. On the reverse, an open agricultural
wreath encloses 1 / DOLLAR, with STANDARD at the top rim. Struck in
aluminum with a reeded edge. According to USPatterns.com the
aluminum versions (Judd-1124 and 1125) of this Standard Silver
dollar pattern are even rarer than the silver versions with plain
or reeded edge (Judd-1120 and 1121). In this case, however, the
difference is, like for so many of these rare patterns, one of
uncertainty. USPatterns.com estimates that "perhaps three or four"
examples are known of Judd-1120, with three being our best
estimate. But in the case of Judd-1124, the R.8 ranking of
USPatterns.com seems to be the result of its conclusion that there
are "at least two known." There is little to no evidence of
post-strike contact on this wonderful coin, although some small
planchet flaws attest to the Mint's relative unfamiliarity in 1871
with what was still very much an experimental coinage metal. This
is the only certified example that numerically grades PR67,
although it certainly merits both the Star and Cameo designations
that NGC has also awarded it.Census. We believe that only three pieces exist.
