Description
The proof version of J-1022 was struck in nickel from the regular Seated Liberty dollar dies, using the proof obverse die on which the date sits high, with the 1 to the right of the shield point. It was struck from the regular 1870 silver dollar dies. USPatterns.com regards the 1870 off-metal strikings from regular dies as pieces made for sale to collectors in complete sets, cent through double eagle, rather than true die trials. Four nickel examples are confirmed, struck from both a proof obverse die (date high, with the 1 to the right of the shield point) and a business-strike die (date lower, with the 1 below the shield point; Osborn-Cushing OC-6 according to Heritage); USPatterns.com counts three business strikes and at least one proof, and lists it among the few die trials known in both formats. It is struck in nickel with a reeded edge. USPatterns.com rates it R-7. It is also catalogued as Pollock-1157 and Adams-Woodin 849, 850, 881 and 882. Cataloged as PCGS #61270.
