1879 $1 Goloid Metric Dollar, Judd-1617, Pollock-1813, R.4, PR62 PCGS. William Barber's Metric Dollar with Liberty wearing a coronet with a border of pearls. The reverse is quite elaborate with a partial wreath of cotton and corn tied at the base, a ribbon, and with DEO EST GLORIA on a tablet above. Struck in silver or goloid with a reeded edge. Several hundred pieces are known, but very few have undergone metallurgical testing. From the Mint's perspective it would have been inconvenient to strike these pieces in goloid; similarly, it would have been convenient to strike them using standard silver dollar planchets. Deeply toned, especially around the margins, with significantly lighter centers.
