- A Second 1879 Flowing Hair $4 Gold Stella Rarity
PQ Deep Cameo Choice Proof
1879 Four-Dollar Gold Stella. Flowing Hair. Judd-1635, Pollock-1833, JD-1. Rarity-3. Gold. Reeded Edge. Proof-64 Deep Cameo (PCGS). CAC.
Obv:The Flowing Hair design by Charles E. Barber. Head of Liberty with flowing hair faces left with the date 1879 below. Liberty is wearing a coronet inscribed LIBERTY, and the inscription * 6 * G * .3 * S * .7 * C * 7 * G * R * A * M * S * encircles the border. Rev:Five-pointed star, or Stella, is inscribed with the denominations ONE STELLA and 400 CENTS. The Latin mottoes E PLURIBUS UNUM and DEO EST GLORIA are above and below the star, respectively. The legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is inscribed along the upper border, and another expression of the denomination FOUR DOL. is inscribed along the lower border. Exceptionally well contrasted in finish for this iconic 19th century gold design type, both sides exhibit softly frosted design elements that appear to float atop deep pools of reflectivity in the fields. Striking detail is also superior, most design elements fully rendered and the central high points with just a touch of softness associated with the always-present planchet roller marks (as made), which are extremely faint here and indistinguishable to the unaided eye. Beautiful, vivid golden-apricot color throughout, indirect viewing angles reveal a touch of pale rose - highly attractive. Our multiple offerings in this sale notwithstanding, the 1879 Flowing Hair Stella is rare from a market availability standpoint, such is the strong demand that this issue enjoys for advanced gold type purposes. This is a phenomenal strike and condition rarity worthy of the strongest bids.
