The reverse displays a laurel wreath and three statutory legends. The reverse die is familiar to pattern specialists of this important date, since it was used for Judd-1457 through Judd-1469.

All 1876 silver dollar patterns are extremely rare, yet well known because of their Sailor Head or Liberty at the Seashore motifs. This brilliant and intricately struck piece has moderate cameo contrast. Wispy field hairlines and a hair-thin line above the jaw are appropriate for the grade. Certified in a green label holder.
