Description

The 1865 Proof Dollar Pattern - J-436 is a proof dollar struck at the Philadelphia Mint, part of the Civil War Patterns (1860-1865) series. This dollar carries the IN GOD WE TRUST reverse adopted in 1866; USPatterns says some were struck in 1865, when collectors wrote to Mint Director James Pollock asking for them, and others are restrikes from about 1869 on. USPatterns cannot confirm an aluminum example. It is struck in aluminum with a reeded edge; USPatterns records it as unique. Catalogued as Judd-436, Pollock-509, A/W 492, Taxay EP425. Cataloged as PCGS #60621.
