<B>1880 $1 Goloid Metric Dollar, Judd-1651, Pollock-1851, Low R.7, PR63 PCGS.</B></I> On the obverse, a head of Liberty faces left wearing a cap inscribed LIBERTY. The top of the cap is ornamented with ears of wheat, cotton leaves, and bolls. E PLURIBUS UNUM is at the top and the date 1880 is below with 13 peripheral stars arranged between. The central reverse expresses the composition of the denomination within a circle of 38 stars. The upper periphery displays the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and the denomination GOLOID METRIC DOLLAR, while the motto DEO EST GLORIA and 100 CENTS are at the lower border. Struck in goloid alloy (5.46% gold, 84.54% silver, and 10.00% copper) with a reeded edge. However, it is unclear if this coin was actually struck in the goloid alloy or merely struck in coin silver as no coins have actually undergone metallurgical analysis. The G in GLORIA is boldly repunched. Hazy blue toning over lightly mirrored silver surfaces. This variety is typically found in lower numerical grades from 60 to 63. The surfaces are lightly hairlined, which is almost always the case.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
