Description

A proof striking of the tenth variety in the 1869 half dollar program, reaching the midpoint of the twenty-one variety series. By J-751, half of the program's varieties had been produced, establishing a comprehensive portfolio of design alternatives for the fifty-cent denomination. The midpoint represents a natural transition from broad exploration to targeted refinement of the strongest concepts.

Rarity Notes

R.6 to R.7. Estimated 10-15 examples survive.
