Description

Judd-355a is a proof compositional variant of J-355, struck in a different alloy with full proof finish. This piece combines the die pair of J-355 with an alternative planchet material, providing proof-quality comparison data for the same design in different metals. The "a" suffix version is typically scarcer than the standard composition, as fewer off-metal proof strikings were produced.
