Description

Judd-435, Pollock-506, is the second 1865 proof dollar motto pattern. This variety presents another configuration for the motto on the silver dollar reverse. The expansion from four varieties per year in 1863-1864 to five in 1865 indicates the final refinement process generated additional options that required evaluation. The dollar denomination would receive the With Motto design on regular coins in 1866, making this one of the last patterns in the multi-year development program.

Rarity Notes

Rarity-7. Approximately 5-10 specimens known.
