Description

The third dollar pattern variety cataloged for 1867, this proof specimen completes a trio of experimental varieties for the silver dollar denomination. J-594 may represent a distinct die combination, alternative edge treatment, or compositional variant that warranted separate catalog designation. The silver dollar pattern series of the late 1860s bridges the gap between the traditional Seated Liberty design and the eventual Trade Dollar and Morgan Dollar designs that would emerge in the 1870s. These patterns document a period of active experimentation that would bear fruit in the following decade.
