1873 Pattern Trade Dollar. Judd-1293, Pollock-1435. Rarity-4. Silver.

The Winsor-Eliasberg 1873 Judd-1293 Trade Dollar From an Original Six-Piece Pattern Proof Set 1873 Pattern Trade Dollar. Judd-1293, Pollock-1435. Rarity-4. Silver. Reeded Edge. Proof-65 (PCGS). CAC. OGH. Obv: Liberty is seated left, her left hand resting atop a globe inscribed LIBERTY and her right hand holding a liberty pole. A cotton bale is at Liberty's feet, wheat sheaf and plow handles behind. Thirteen stars are arranged around the border, seven left and six right, and the date 1873 is below. Rev: An eagle with outstretched wings supports a shield with its left talon, over which is a ribbon inscribed with the motto IN GOD WE TRUST, while its right talon clutches a group of three arrows. A ribbon in the eagle's beak is inscribed with the Latin motto E PLURIBUS UNUM, the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is above, the inscription 420 GRAINS, 900 FINE is below, and the denomination TRADE DOLLAR is at the lower border. Beautifully toned surfaces are dusted with sandy-gold and silver-apricot patina that is a bit bolder on the reverse. Both sides are a tad lightly struck at the central high points, to little effect as the overall appearance is one of razor sharp to full detail. This is an elegant Gem, expertly preserved since distribution from the Mint in 1873, and boasting a cameo finish from the dies that is not mentioned on the Generation 3.1 PCGS insert. One of an extensive suite of pattern trade dollars produced in 1873, Judd-1293 was made available to contemporary collectors as part of six-piece pattern Proof sets at the price of $30 per set. The present example is actually directly traceable back to one of those sets, which first appeared at auction in S.H. and H. Chapman's 1895 sale of the celebrated Richard B. Winsor Collection. The set was acquired by J.M Clapp through that sale, went to Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr., and most recently appeared at auction in Legend Rare Coin Auctions' February 2023 sale of the Terra Pistacia Collection. The coins have remained together despite being offered individually in the past, which is also the case in this sale, and we sincerely hope that another collector will recognize the significance of this set by buying all six of the coins. In addition to Judd-1293, offered in this lot, the other coins in this set are Judd-1276, Judd-1281, Judd-1310, Judd-1315, and Judd-1322. Provenance: Ex S.H. and H. Chapman's sale of the Richard B. Winsor Collection, December 1895, lot 1135, part of a six-piece set that also included the Judd-1276, Judd-1281, Judd-1310, Judd-1315, and Judd-1322 specimens offered in this sale; J.M.
