Description
A compositional variant of J-717, this proof dime pattern tests the same die combination on an alternative planchet. The "a" suffix varieties in the later portion of the 1869 series are particularly significant because they test some of the most refined design concepts on different metals, providing crucial data about the versatility and adaptability of the leading design candidates.
