26.14 grams. <strong>Obv:</strong> Virtually identical to the design that the Mint adopted for regular issue Morgan dollar production in 1878. The point of the neck truncation is centered between star 1 and the digit 1 in the date, the wheat leaf at the top of Liberty's cap is distant from the letter R in PLURIBUS, and the designer's initial M is incuse on Liberty's neck. <strong>Rev:</strong> Similar to the adopted design, with notched wings, although there are only three leaves on the branch in the eagle's talon. A gorgeous specimen, abundant mint orange color shines through light olive-copper iridescence on the reverse. The obverse is more warmly patinated in autumn-orange and olive-brown, although hints of underlying mint orange color remain to be appreciated at the borders.<p>This is the copper counterpart to Judd-1550, one of the silver prototype Morgan dollars included in the 50 (or more)-coin mintage of such pieces achieved by the Mint between December 1, 1877 and January 2, 1878 (per Roger W. Burdette, as reported on the <em>uspatterns.com</em> website). The same source confirms the awesome rarity of Judd-1551 in copper through the brief comment "with 7 confirmed." A highlight of the extensive pattern Morgan dollars offered in this sale, this premium Gem in PCGS/CAC/CMQ Proof-65 Red and Brown is a real treat for the advanced collector.
