<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bedford, post: 175115, member: 4917&quot;]The &quot;Washlady&quot; dollar considered today to be one of the most beautiful designs ever made by the US Mint. At that time, however, the design was not well received as, apparently, Liberty&#039;s hair and the way it was tied back was considered to be disheveled.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Washlady name dates back to the April 1891 New York Coin and Stamp auction of the F.W. Doughty collection and was probably given by David Proskey.</p><p><br /></p><p>This design is R-6 in both silver and copper J1604/P1799 with between 12 to 15 believed to exist. A single example in white metal J1604A/P1800 ex Kaufman is also known.</p><p><br /></p><p>The illustrated example is believed to be the finest known in silver and is courtesy of Jay Parrino&#039;s The Mint LLC.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
