1871 Pattern Dollar. Judd-1146, Pollock-1288. Rarity-7-. Silver. Plain Edge. Proof-62 (NGC). <strong>Obv:</strong> Chief Engraver James Barton Longacres Indian Princess motif with 13 stars around the border. Liberty is seated left wearing a Native American headdress, her left hand resting atop a globe inscribed LIBERTY and her right hand supporting a liberty pole. Two flags are behind the portrait, one of which is ornamented with 22 stars, and the date 1871 is below. <strong>Rev:</strong> The same design that the Mint used to strike regular issue 1871 Liberty Seated silver dollars. With a deeply reflective finish in the fields and razor sharp design elements, this bright and brilliant specimen possesses superior eye appeal for the assigned grade. Although this is the most plentiful Longacre Indian Princess pattern dollar design of the date, Judd-1146 is still scarce in an absolute with not many more than a dozen specimens extant.
