Description

This proof dime pattern continues the ambitious 1869 experimental program, with J-698 representing the third in a long sequence of varieties that would test numerous design alternatives for the dime. The 1869 dime patterns may include experimental designs featuring alternative Liberty portraits, modified wreath arrangements, new motto placements, or entirely novel design concepts that departed significantly from the established Seated Liberty format. The proof format preserves the finest details of each experimental design.
