Description

This proof dime pattern is among the later entries in the extensive 1868 experimental series. J-646 features die work that reflects the advanced state of design development for the dime at this point in the program. The seven preceding varieties had explored a range of possibilities, and the later entries may represent refined versions of the most promising concepts. The proof format reveals fine details of the experimental design that would be less visible on circulation-quality strikes.
