Strike Type
Coin Details
Description
The sixth and final dollar pattern variety for 1869, J-768 concludes the silver dollar experimental program for the last year of the Reconstruction era. The six-variety 1869 series represents the most productive year of dollar pattern production since 1866, with Barber bringing renewed energy to the denomination's design development. The silver dollar would undergo dramatic changes in the coming years, with the Trade Dollar of 1873 and the Morgan Dollar of 1878 both drawing on design concepts explored during this fertile experimental period.
