Description
Struck in copper with a reeded edge, J-845 showcases the diademed Liberty obverse and Standard wreath reverse in a medium that emphasizes the portrait's refined lines. The absence of stars on the tiara gives this Liberty Head a clean, uncluttered profile that stands apart from the more ornate designs in the 1870 program. Copper impressions were routinely produced alongside silver and aluminum in the Standard Silver series, providing what amounted to a comprehensive sampling of the die combination's potential across a range of base and precious metals.
