详细说明

A great Pattern "type" coin, this is a highly collectible Pattern trade dollar, featuring Bailey's Seated Liberty design (which seems to combine elements from William Barber and James B. Longacre's Seated Liberty and Seated Indian Princess designs from 1869-1871). Liberty is seated, facing left holding a liberty cap on a pole, supporting a globe with a ribbon inscribed LIBERTY. Agricultural products are seen on the background, flanking the central design. The reverse has a perched eagle, wings spread as if to take off in flight, standing on a shield, arrows and an olive branch in its talons. IN GOD WE TRUST on a ribbon below, with the fineness and weight below that. Struck in silver with a reeded edge, this pattern is listed as Rarity-4, and it is estimated that about 50 were struck for sale to collectors along with the other Trade dollar patterns of the year. Deep, beaming mirrored fields flash and sparkle all over. The devices are generally well struck (not common for the Trade dollar patterns) and have thick mint frost, creating a bold cameo contrast on both obverse and reverse. There are some minor hairlines seen with the aid of a strong glass, but they are appropriate for the assigned grade and have little bearing on the eye appeal. With over 100 Pattern varieties listed for 1873, most of which are for the newly authorized Trade dollar, this year makes a very cool subset of Patterns for collectors to specialize. PCGS 3, NGC 0. The last one to sell brought $8,700 in September 2017, and this one sold, in an NGC holder, for a record $14,100 in the 2017 FUN auction. In today's market, this Pattern should fetch a strong bid.
