1879 Pattern Metric Dollar. Judd-1619, Pollock-1814. Rarity-7-. Copper. Reeded Edge. Proof-65 RD (PCGS). OGH. Obv: Head of Liberty by William Barber, similar to that used on the $50 (J-1546). E PLURIBUS UNUM above, seven stars left, six right with date below. Rev: Circle of dots at the center enclosing 895.8 S. / 4.2 -- G. / 100 -- C. / 25 GRAMS, this all within an open wreath of cotton and wheat. DEO EST GLORIA in a cartouche above. Around border UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and ONE DOLLAR below. Fully brilliant and reflective fields on the obverse and reverse with a sharp strike as expected. The color is attractive with a more brick red hue and a few hints of fading as well as specks as so commonly seen on these early copper Proofs. Rare in all grades with perhaps 10 to 12 known in all, this one of just two graded by PCGS with their Red category, others likely more faded and toned than this incredible Gem. The Goloid Metric pattern dollar has always been one of the best known and most sought after patterns because of its near association with the famed $50 of 1877 which resides at the Smithsonian. A prize for the pattern specialist. PCGS# 81997. PCGS Population: 1; 1 finer (Proof-66 Red finest).
