The reverse has a spread-winged eagle with E PLURIBUS UNUM in Gothic lettering above. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is at the top and ONE DOLLAR on the bottom rim. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. This design was believed to be Barber's rejected dollar design, as indicated in early auction catalogs that offered this pattern. Research in mint archives by Roger Burdette shows that at least 50 pieces were struck between December 1, 1877 and January 2, 1878. The surfaces of this piece are bright and deeply mirrored in the fields. Each side has a silver-gray center that is surrounded by sea-green and rose at the margin.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
