- <strong>Obv:</strong> A Head of Liberty faces left with the Latin motto E PLURIBUS UNUM above, the date 1880 below, and 13 stars arranged around the periphery, seven left, six right. Liberty's hair is braided and coiled at the back of her head, with a band inscribed LIBERTY encircling the hair. <strong>Rev: </strong>The inscription 15.3 - G. / 236.7 - S. / 28 - C. / 14 GRAMS is centered within a circle of 38 stars. The legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and the denomination GOLOID METRIC DOLLAR are above the circle, and the motto DEO EST GLORIA and the denomination 100 CENTS are below. This is an exquisite specimen with virtually untoned surfaces and nicely mirrored fields. The design elements are sharply defined apart from a hint of barely perceptible softness within the hair strands above Liberty's ear. The obverse is decidedly cameoed in finish, while both sides are expertly preserved and challenge Superb Gem quality.<p>George T. Morgan's Coiled Hair motif of 1879 was also used in 1880, most famously for the Coiled Hear four-dollar gold Stellas, but also for this striking Pattern goloid metric dollar. Judd-1654 in silver is a significant rarity with only a dozen specimens known, per the <em>uspatterns.com</em> website, and that offered here is tied with the Queller specimen - also certified Proof-66 by PCGS - as the finest known.
