Description
This proof dime pattern continues the extensive 1869 series with its thirteenth variety. The sheer volume of dime patterns produced in 1869 has left behind one of the richest design archives for any single denomination in the Reconstruction period. Collectively, the J-696 through J-720 series provides a comprehensive snapshot of American coin design thinking at a pivotal moment in the nation's numismatic history, when the post-Civil War reform movement extended to questioning every aspect of the established coinage.
