1871 Indian Princess Silver Dollar Pattern
Judd-1133, Proof Surfaces

1871 $1 Standard Silver Dollar, Judd-1133, Pollock-1270, High R.6--Artificial Toning--NCS. Proof. A dollar pattern with Longacre's modified design having only 13 stars on the flag and the first and 13th peripheral stars closer to the base. The reverse has 1 DOLLAR as the central design element which is surrounded by a wreath of cotton and corn, and the word STANDARD above. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. This is James Longacre's famous Indian Princess design as modified by William Barber for the 1871 pattern coinage. Longacre died in 1869 and never actually saw his design on a struck coin. More than a dozen examples are believed known today of this silver, reeded edge variant. The surfaces are covered with deep golden-gray toning that is obviously artificial. Slight friction can be seen over the high points of the design.
