Lot Description

1871 Pattern Dollar. Judd-1146, Pollock-1288. Rarity-7-. Silver. Plain Edge. Proof-61 (NGC). Obv: Chief Engraver James Barton Longacre's Indian Princess motif with 13 stars around the border. Liberty is seated left wearing a Native American headdress, her left hand resting atop a globe inscribed LIBERTY and her right hand supporting a liberty pole. Two flags are behind the portrait, one of which is ornamented with 22 stars, and the date 1871 is below. Rev:The same design that the Mint used to strike regular issue 1871 Liberty Seated silver dollars. With a deeply reflective finish in the fields and razor sharp design elements, this predominantly brilliant specimen possesses superior eye appeal for the assigned grade. Iridescent olive-gold peripheral toning is confined to the reverse. Although this is the most plentiful Longacre Indian Princess pattern dollar design of the date, Judd-1146 is still scarce in an absolute with not many more than a dozen specimens extant. NGC Census: 3; 4 finer in this category (Proof-64 finest). PCGS# 61408. NGC ID: 2A58. Click here for certification details from NGC.
