1879 Metric Dollar, Judd-1617

1879 $1 Metric Dollar, Judd-1617, Pollock-1813, R.3, PR 50 PCGS. This coin was previously featured as lot 6931 in our September 1999 Long Beach Sale, where it was described as: "A William Barber design with the head of Liberty facing left, wearing a coronet with the word LIBERTY on it. Above the portrait is E PLURIBUS UNUM and the date is below. The reverse has the composition of the metric alloy in three lines with the weight below, surrounded by an elaborate wreath of corn and cotton, and cartouche above with DEO EST GLORIA inside. At the margin is UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and ONE DOLLAR. The surfaces are pearl-gray in color with significant loss of their prooflike qualities, having obviously been carried as a pocket piece for many years. A small rim bruise is noted just to the left of the date."
