Description

This proof dime pattern continues through the fifteenth variety, approaching the final third of the ambitious 1869 program. The later entries in the series may increasingly reflect Barber's growing design confidence and the crystallization of preferred design elements from the extensive earlier experimentation. Designs that appeared in rough form in the early varieties may reappear here in more polished versions, refined through the iterative process of sequential pattern production.

Rarity Notes

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