Owner Comments:


1866 $1 Dollar
Judd-541, Pollock-606
Rarity: Low R.6, PR64 BN

Struck in copper with a reeded edge.

Obverse/Reverse: Copper strikes using the dies of the year

Comment:
Traditionally referred to as dies trial striking, these pieces are more than likely off-metal strikes that were deliberately produced for sale to collectors.

The surfaces have evenly mellowed, and while no traces of red remain there are equal parts of brown and blue patina present depending on how the coin is angled. Deeply mirrored fields with only a few faint carbon spots seen (almost exclusively on the obverse).

Provenance/Appearance:
Private Sale Houston Money Show Jan 2019; Prior Heritage Sept 2018 Long Beach Expo / Lot #3292
