Description

This proof three-cent pattern is one of the final entries in the 1868 experimental series. J-621 features design elements consistent with the established Liberty Head framework while incorporating whatever distinguishing characteristic merited its separate Judd catalog number. The penultimate position of this variety in the 1868 sequence may indicate it represents one of the more refined design concepts tested during the year, building on the experimentation documented in earlier entries.

Rarity Notes

R.6 to R.7. Approximately 10-15 examples estimated.
