Hewitt Judd; Abe Kosoff (Bowers and Merena, 11/1985), lot 1100 (plated at lot 1099); American Numismatic Rarities (9/2003), lot 100; American Numismatic Rarities (6/2004), lot 1683.<BR><B>PR61 PCGS. The piece offered here.</B></I> William H. Woodin; H.O. Granberg; unknown intermediaries; Jones Beach Collection.<BR><BR> This example has bright silver surfaces with fully mirrored fields and a trace of hazy toning on the reverse. A few wispy hairlines on each side keep it from a higher grade. There are few pedigree markers of any type on this piece, although a small toning spot is visible immediately below the R of TRUST on the reverse. To the best of our knowledge, this specimen has never before been offered for sale at auction. While it is lower quality than the other specimen, choices are limited when there are just two known examples of any coin. In the case of this pattern issue, a silver dollar pattern struck in silver, there are clearly more than two people with an ownership desire, a situation that will undoubtedly create considerable bidding activity.<BR><I>From The Jones Beach Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
