(1977-78) Proof Dollar Pattern - P-5425, GOULD

Coin Details

Description

P-5425 is a (1977-78) dollar-size proof test piece from the Gould Incorporated experimental series. USPatterns.com says Gould made these designs about 1978 as a possible replacement for the large Eisenhower dollar, and NGC describes the company's test tokens of 1976 to 1978, with a George Washington portrait and versions of the Great Seal, as a way to show its new planchet compositions. It is struck from the design USPatterns.com files as Pollock-5425, one of seven Gould designs. Pollock-5425 is the titanium (powdered metal) piece of this design, Burdette's RB-1055. According to Burdette, as summarized by USPatterns.com, the planchets began with grooved edges and were struck in a plain collar, so the intended edge is plain though some pieces still show the grooves. NGC lists it as (1977-78) GOULD P-5425 $1 PF, on its proof scale.
