- 1879 Pattern Goloid Metric Dollar. Judd-1627, Pollock-1823. Rarity-5. Silver (Standard Alloy). Reeded Edge. Proof-63 (NGC). Obv:Head of Liberty facing left, with the Latin motto E PLURIBUS UNUM above and the date 1879 below. Liberty is wearing a cap inscribed LIBERTY in incuse letters. The cap band is ornamented with ears of wheat, cotton leaves and bolls. There are 13 stars at the border arranged seven left, six right. Rev: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. Universally reflective in finish, both sides are brilliant apart from wisps of pale silver and, on the reverse only, olive-russet iridescence. Sharply struck otherwise, a touch of softness to the high points of the obverse portrait is noted solely for accuracy. According to the website uspatterns.com, examples of this type were distributed as part of three-piece pattern Proof sets along with Judd-1617 (metric dollar) and Judd-1635 (the famous Flowing Hair four-dollar Stella). The Mint's sale price to Congressmen was $6.10/set, $15/set to collectors. NGC Census: 4; 4 finer in this category (Proof-65 * finest). PCGS# 62005. NGC ID: 2AHF.
