<B>1879 $4 Flowing Hair Four Dollar Stella, Judd-1637, Pollock-1835, High R.7, PR64 Gilt NGC.</B></I> Barber's Flowing Hair design. Struck in aluminum with a reeded edge. This gilt example is a pleasing green-gold representative with mildly reflective fields and hazy toning. It is sharply detailed throughout with few blemishes. A small dark spot is visible in the right reverse field to assist in future identification. We have not been able to trace a past pedigree, and no pieces are recorded as Gilt by Andrew Pollock in his pattern reference, nor on USPatterns.com. Just five or six examples of this pattern variety are currently recognized. It may be the case that this is the only gilt-aluminum example of this pattern issue in existence, thus a unique piece of the highest importance.<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>)
