1880 Metric Dollar in Copper
Judd-1646, PR65 Red and Brown, CAC

1880 $1 Metric Dollar, Judd-1646, Pollock-1846, Low R.6, PR65 Red and Brown PCGS. CAC. William Barber's Metric dollar depicts Liberty wearing a coronet with a border of pearls. The elaborate reverse displays a partial wreath of cotton and corn tied at the base, a ribbon, and the motto DEO EST GLORIA within a cartouche above. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. The design was taken from the 1877 half union and examples were struck in silver or goloid, copper, and aluminum. Over twenty examples are known in copper, and Saul Teichman at USPatterns.com includes this pieces as No. 11 out of the 23 examples in his census. This sharply detailed Gem proof displays fiery-orange mint surfaces with subtle lavender and emerald toning. A tiny planchet flaw inside the U of UNITED is a pedigree marker.
