1873 $1 J-1283 Pattern PCGS PR67+RB Simpson Collection
1873 $1 J-1283, RB
SKU: 40276426
A superbly preserved 1873 $1 Pattern from the celebrated Simpson Collection, this Judd-1283 issue represents one of the most intriguing chapters of America’s experimental coinage. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint during a period of intense refinement in U.S. coin design and metallurgy, patterns like this were produced in extremely limited numbers to evaluate proposed concepts and specifications—making them enduringly desirable to collectors who value true numismatic rarity and historic intent.
Certified by PCGS as PR67+RB (Cert #40276426), this example offers exceptional proof quality with outstanding eye appeal. The “RB” designation highlights an attractive blend of original red and mellow brown tones, often seen in high-end copper-alloy patterns where traces of vibrant mint color remain alongside deeper, time-earned patina. The result is a richly nuanced appearance that brings out mirrored fields, sharp device definition, and the distinctive visual depth expected from a premium Proof striking.
