Superb Washlady Dollar in Copper, Judd-1604

1879 $1 Washlady Dollar, Judd-1604, Pollock-1799, R.7, PR 67 Brown PCGS. William Barber's so-called "Washlady" design shows Liberty with elegantly coiffed hair, wearing a band inscribed LIBERTY. The reverse features an erect eagle with raised wings and most of the statutory inscriptions are placed on that side. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. Described in the Bass catalog as, "A breathtakingly beautiful Gem, a coin of dazzling appearance. Mint red and iridescent blue delicately blend over deep mirror surfaces. The coin is an absolute visual delight!" We couldn't agree more.
Ex: Bass I (Bowers and Merena, 5/99), lot 1286, where it realized $25,300; purchased by Harry Bass from Brinton T. Schorer May 3, 1973.
