1878 S$1 Goloid Metric Dollar, Judd-1563, Pollock-1754, R.6 (?)--Reverse Graffiti, Improperly Cleaned--Proof NCS. The obverse has the bust of Liberty facing left, with a wide band around the hair inscribed LIBERTY in incuse lettering, which is tied off with two long ribbons trailing behind. The reverse contains the elemental composition in the center: GOLOID METRIC 1--G./16.1 S./1.9--C./GRAMS 14.25, surrounded by a circle of small stars, which is in turn surrounded by UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 100 CENTS at the periphery. Presumably struck in goloid (a gold, silver, and copper alloy) with a reeded edge. The exact composition and rarity of this piece is unknown, as only a specific gravity test can distinguish between goloid and the silver alloy variant, Judd-1564. The surfaces are heavily hairlined and generally untoned, and it appears someone tried to scratch the number 29 in the reverse field between 100 CENTS and UNITED. A tiny grease stain (as struck) is located in the center of Liberty's cheek.Ex: University Park Sale (Steve Ivy, 3/81), lot 1514.
