Description

This proof dollar pattern is the fifth variety in the 1869 series. J-767 was struck during a period when the silver dollar's future was undocumented but the Mint was determined to be prepared with strong design options regardless of which direction monetary policy took. The combination of artistic ambition and practical preparedness characterizes the entire Reconstruction-era pattern program, with the dollar varieties occupying a particularly prominent position.
