Description
A proof impression of J-761, the penultimate variety in the 1869 half dollar pattern program. This near-final entry documents one of the last design concepts tested during the most ambitious year of half dollar experimentation in the Reconstruction era. The design may closely preview the direction that Barber favored for the denomination's eventual modernization.
Rarity Notes
R.6. Approximately 15-20 examples estimated.
