1867 Half Eagle Pattern - J-601
Strike TypeCoin Details
Description
The business strike counterpart to the proof J-601 half eagle pattern, this piece demonstrates how the design would appear under production conditions rather than the controlled proof striking process. Business strike gold patterns are especially rare because the gold content made each piece intrinsically valuable, and the Mint had strong incentives to minimize waste of precious metal. This example provides insight into how the proposed design modifications would perform when struck at normal production speed on the standard gold planchet.
Rarity Notes
