1870 Gold Dollar Judd-1023

From regular issue gold dollar dies, but struck in copper with a reeded edge. These curious pieces were most likely struck for sale to collectors as part of complete off-metal sets as there was no obvious reason for their production. Examples are also known in aluminum and nickel. Only four or five copper strikings are believed known today. This is the first Judd-1023 we have handled. Rarity-7. PCGS Price Guide is $7000.
