1879 $1 Goloid Metric Dollar, Judd-1626, Pollock-1822, R.6.?, PR 50 PCGS. William Barber's design for the Goloid Metric Dollar with a large head of Liberty on the obverse, paired with a reverse that carries numerous statutory as well as elemental inscriptions. A circle of stars about the central inscriptions breaks this otherwise continuous wording. Struck in goloid (5.46% gold, 84.54% silver, 10.00% copper) with a reeded edge. While the majority of extant Judd-1626 examples display evidence of past mishandling, this is a pleasing, original example. Despite light scuffiness in the open fields and wear across the highpoints, this untoned specimen exhibits richly delineated devices and deeply mirrored surfaces. For pedigree purposes, we mention a small vertical abrasion on Liberty's cheek and a horizontal one across the neck.
