Description

A proof impression of J-647, this piece is among the penultimate entries in the 1868 dime pattern series. The extensive nature of this year's dime experimentation places it alongside the nickel programs of 1866-1867 as one of the most thoroughly documented design studies in the Reconstruction pattern series. Each variety, preserved in proof format, contributes to a comprehensive record of the Mint's design philosophy during this transformative period in American numismatic history.
