Description

This proof dime pattern is the nineteenth variety in the 1869 series, approaching the final group of experimental designs. J-714 may represent one of Barber's more refined design concepts, produced after extensive iteration through the preceding eighteen varieties had helped clarify the most effective design elements. The proof format reveals the subtlest details of the die work, including any decorative elements, lettering styles, or portrait treatments that distinguish this variety.

Rarity Notes
