<B>1873 G$1 Gold Dollar, Judd-1332, Pollock-1476, R.8, PR65 PCGS.</B></I> From regular dies, but struck in aluminum with a reeded edge. Other 1873 gold dollars exist in proof aluminum format, which implies that a few sets were formed, perhaps for presentation purposes or sale to well-placed collectors, or more likely, for the private collections of Linderman or other high-ranking mint officials. The web site www.uspatterns.com estimates three or four examples of Judd-1332 are known. This meticulously struck Closed 3 piece is refreshingly smooth and can be identified from the Bass plate only by a tiny carbon speck beneath the bust tip.<BR><I>Ex: Harry X.
