Description
A compositional variant of J-759, struck on an alternative planchet. Testing a near-final design on different metals provides the last compositional data points in the program, offering insight into how the most refined design concepts perform across varying material substrates. This late-series suffix variety may represent one of the final metallurgical experiments conducted as part of the 1869 silver denomination review.
