1867 Proof Eagle Pattern - J-603
Strike TypeCoin Details
Description
A second proof eagle pattern for 1867, this piece features die characteristics distinct from J-602. The ten-dollar gold coin was central to the ongoing debate about resuming specie payments, as gold coins had largely disappeared from circulation in the East during the Civil War but continued to circulate in California and other Western states. These patterns document the Mint's preparation for a future where gold coins would again play a meaningful role in national commerce, with design improvements intended to enhance both the aesthetic appeal and practical functionality of the denomination. Cataloged as PCGS #60815.
