Description

A proof impression of J-757, the sixteenth variety in the 1869 half dollar program. The penultimate group of varieties in the series showcases the most evolved design concepts from the year's experimentation. The half dollar's generous surface area allowed for particularly detailed and ambitious design work, and these late-series patterns feature some of the most artistically accomplished concepts in the entire program.

Rarity Notes

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