1871 Pattern Silver $1. J-1144 NGC Proof 65
<b>1871 Pattern Silver Dollar. Aluminum, plain edge. Judd-1144. Pollock-1286. NGC graded Proof 65.</b> Aluminum. Plain edge. Lightly textured motifs and mirrored fields reflect faint rose iridescence on silver gray surfaces. A sharp and appealing example of Longacre&#39;s Seated Indian Princess design, here with 13 stars around in the field, and 22 stars on the flag behind Miss Liberty. Usual STANDARD reverse, denomination as numeral and word within agricultural wreath. Another prized rarity no matter how you look at it! The uspatterns.com website notes that &#34;this is possibly unique&#34; in regarding J-1144, and we have every reason to take Saul Tiechman, manager of the website, quite seriously when he comments on patterns. As for the coin itself, the only example of J-1144 certified by NGC, we can only speak highly. There is a touch of cloudiness in the obverse field near Miss Liberty&#39;s foot, but such is easily overlooked considering the possibly unique status of this beauty. We can&#39;t imagine any serious pattern dollar specialist missing an opportunity to bid on the present gem. NGC holder #564221-005. NGC Census: 1; none finer. This handsome rarity appeared last year in an ANR auction &#40;7/2005&#41;.
