Description
1872 Trade Dollar, Judd-1220, PR65
Tied for the Finest Certified
1872 T$1 Trade Dollar, Judd-1220, Pollock-1362, High R.7, PR65
NGC. One of the popular Trade dollar patterns, a subset
collecting specialty among pattern aficionados. The obverse is
William Barber's adaptation of Longacre's Indian Princess design.
She faces left, with 13 stars each around and on the flag, a large
globe inscribed LIBERTY in raised letters, date 1872 below. The
reverse is the first Trade dollar pattern, copying the Commercial
dollar designs: a wreath with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA at upper
rim, and inside TRADE / DOLLAR / (bar ornament) / 420 GRAINS. 900
FINE / (bar ornament). IN GOD WE TRUST is on the ribbon of the
wreath. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. Perhaps a half-dozen
are known of this design and metal. This attractive Gem proof
boasts strong eye appeal on surfaces that are uniform
golden-champagne tone with no mentionable distractions. This
appears to be the first offering of a Gem proof at Heritage or
elsewhere in many years, certainly since we began our Permanent
Auction Archives in 1993. The top populations are one PR65 each at
NGC (this coin) and PCGS (10/14).Ex: Terrell Collection (Bowers and Ruddy, 5/1973), lot 621; Sieck Collection / ANA Auction (Bowers and Ruddy, 8/1981), lot 314; Rarities Sale (Bowers and Merena, 8/1995), lot 494.
