1880 Metric Goloid Dollar in Copper
PR66 Red Cameo, Judd-1649

1880 $1 Goloid Metric Dollar, Judd-1649, Pollock-1849, Low R.7, PR66 Red Cameo NGC. The goloid metric dollar of 1880, a repeat of the 1879 design (Judd-1622) by George T. Morgan. Liberty's hair is done up in a bun, with a ribbon inscribed LIBERTY in incuse letters, the Latin motto above, stars seven left, six right. The reverse offers a wreath of cotton and wheat, with inner circle of dots enclosing 895.8 S. / 4.2--G. / 100--C. / 25 GRAMS. DEO EST GLORIA ("God is glory/To God be the glory") appears in a cartouche, with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and ONE DOLLAR at the rim. Struck in copper with a reeded edge.

This is a marvelously pristine, well-contrasted, fully Red Premium Gem of this rare issue, devoid of carbon and nearly so of contact. The Lemus Collection, Queller Family Collection, Part Two example was a PR67 Red and Brown NGC piece that realized $14,950 (Heritage, 1/2009, lot 1934). This is the numerically finest Red Cameo specimen at NGC, and as such we think this coin could do quite a bit better than the Lemus-Queller piece. The finest at PCGS are three submissions in PR66 Red, one of them in 66+ (10/25).
Ex: Pittsburgh Signature (Heritage, 10/2011), Lot 4587.
