CCFPress Press Manager United States 1420 Posts	Posted 09/16/2022 1:31 pm Heritage Auctions - Astonishing Aluminum Stella! The stellas of 1879 and 1880 with Flowing and Coiled Hair portraits are among the most sought-after issues in American coinage., and the gold Stellas are among the most popular U.S. gold coins. This is an example struck in aluminum with a reeded edge (Judd-1662) -- aluminum versions are actually about twice as rare as those struck in gold. Liberty's hair is braided, and a hair band in front reads LIBERTY. On the reverse a five-pointed star occupies the center, bearing the legend ONE STELLA / 400 CENTS. This Bass collection coin (Ex: Maris-Garrett) is beautifully preserved. The bright silver-white surfaces exhibit partial undesignated contrast between the fields and devices. A significant rarity and certified Proof 65 by PCGS! 1880 $4 Coiled Hair Four Dollar, Judd-1662, Pollock-1862, R.8, PR65 PCGS. https://coins.ha.com/itm/patterns-a...ns-eng-7d-30 Lot Preview I September 29 Historic Harry W.

jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 2539 Posts	Posted 09/16/2022 4:34 pm I didn't know this pattern of Stella existed! I bet it feels as if there is nothing in the slab because aluminum is so light. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 20586 Posts	Posted 09/16/2022 11:26 pm A bit curious with very rare gold coins, how the (mostly rarer) off metal experimental strikes usually command lower prices at auction, than standard gold strikes do. Report this Post to the Staff
NickMar28 New Member Canada 18 Posts	Posted 09/18/2022 10:16 pm Very neat. Was reading about the history of Aluminum on Wikipedia, it was still a fairly precious metal in 1880. Though in the 1850s it had been worth more than Gold, by 1880 it was close to the price of Silver. Report this Post to the Staff
