Description
1878 Morgan Dollar Pattern, PR66 Red
Judd-1565, Struck in Copper
Five Known Examples
1878 $1 Morgan Dollar, Judd-1565, Pollock-1732, High R.7, PR66
Red PCGS. Ex: Simpson. This is a muling of the obverse of
Judd-1550A/1550B (Pollock-1725/1726) with the reverse of
Judd-1554/1555 (Pollock-1733/1734). The obverse is similar to the
adopted Morgan dollar, with the point of the bust truncation nearer
to star 1 than to the 1 in the date. The wheat ear in Liberty's cap
is distant from the R in PLURIBUS. On the reverse an eagle with
drooping wings occupies the center, with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
and ONE DOLLAR, the latter in minuscules, at the rim. E PLURIBUS
UNUM appears arcing in a Gothic font above the eagle. The upright
of the B in PLURIBUS is centered under the tip of the right bottom
serif on the second T of STATES, and the M in UNUM is slightly left
of center of the M in AMERICA. Struck in copper with a reeded
edge.According to USPatterns.com, only five examples of Judd-1565 are confirmed. They were surely produced clandestinely for the benefit of mint personnel and insider-collectors. This Red Gem has rich orange and rose-red surfaces. Abrasions are absent, and the grade is only limited by an infrequent carbon fleck. Population: 2 in 66 Red, 0 finer (9/25).
