Description

A second proof dollar pattern for 1869, featuring design characteristics distinct from J-763. The six-variety dollar program represents a significant increase over the two varieties produced in 1868, reflecting heightened interest in the denomination under Barber's leadership. The dollar's large silver planchet provided the most generous canvas of any silver denomination, allowing for particularly ambitious and detailed design work.
