Description

The 1866 Proof Dollar Pattern - J-541 is a proof silver dollar pattern struck at the Philadelphia Mint, part of the Reconstruction Era Patterns (1866-1869) series. It was struck from the regular 1866 Seated Liberty dollar dies, with the motto, so its design matches the regular coin; only the metal differs. Judd lists it in copper with a reeded edge, and USPatterns.com rates it R-6. Judd classes it as a die trial, a strike from regular dies in a metal other than the coin's own. USPatterns.com records over a dozen. It is catalogued as Judd-541, Pollock-606, Adams-Woodin 534. Cataloged as PCGS #60739.
