Summer 2025 Global Showcase Auction U.S. Coins

Losbeschreibung: <strong>Obv:</strong> Liberty is seated left, her left hand resting atop a globe inscribed LIBERTY and her right hand holding a liberty pole. A cotton bale is at Liberty's feet, wheat sheaf and plow handles behind. Thirteen stars are arranged around the border, seven left and six right, and the date 1873 is below. <strong>Rev:</strong> An eagle with outstretched wings supports a shield with its left talon, over which is a ribbon inscribed with the motto IN GOD WE TRUST, while its right talon clutches a group of three arrows. A ribbon in the eagle's beak is inscribed with the Latin motto E PLURIBUS UNUM, the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is above, the inscription 420 GRAINS, 900 FINE is below, and the denomination TRADE DOLLAR is at the lower border. This is a lightly toned specimen dressed in iridescent reddish-gold that appears to drift toward the borders. One of an extensive suite of pattern trade dollars produced in 1873, Judd-1293 was made available to contemporary collectors as part of six-piece pattern Proof sets. This is the most frequently encountered variant of the type (struck in silver with a reeded edge), although in an absolute sense survivors are scarce.
