NewP If Lightside could get darker, this is how I imagine it

1878 $1 Dollar, Judd-1554, PR62 PCGS Old 'Rattler' Holder.

This design was believed to be Barber's rejected dollar design, as indicated in early auction catalogs that offered this pattern. Research in mint archives by Roger Burdette shows that at least 50 pieces were struck between December 1, 1877 and January 2, 1878.

The surfaces of this piece are bright and deeply mirrored in the fields. Each side has a silver-gray center that is surrounded by sea-green and rose at the margin. Graded PR62 in a PCGS Old 'Rattler' Holder.
