Lot Description

<strong>Obv:</strong> William Barber's Indian Princess design with Liberty seated on a rock facing left. Her right hand supports a liberty pole while her left hand rests atop a globe inscribed LIBERTY. A pair of flags is behind the portrait, one of which is ornamented with stars. Thirteen stars encircle the border and the date 1873 is below. <strong>Rev:</strong> A small eagle with outstretched wings clutches an olive branch in its left talon and a group of three arrows in its right talon. A scroll above the eagle is inscribed with the Latin motto E PLURIBUS UNUM, the motto IN GOD WE TRUST is on a scroll in the lower field, and immediately below the eagle is the inscription 420 GRAINS / 900 FINE. The legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA lines the upper border and the denomination TRADE DOLLAR is at the lower border. This wonderfully original near-Gem has iridescent champagne-apricot, pinkish-rose and powder blue undertones to gently olive and pewter gray patina. It is fully struck with appreciable vibrancy to the reflective finish.<p>The Mint distributed examples of Judd-1310 to the contemporary public as part of six-piece pattern Proof sets at a price of $30 per set. This is one of the finer certified survivors, a handsome specimen that combines rarity with strong eye appeal. Thoroughly PQ at the assigned grade level, and worthy of the strongest bids.
