Description

The 1870 Proof Three Dollar Pattern - J-1030 is a proof three-dollar pattern struck at the Philadelphia Mint, part of the Standard Silver Patterns (1870) series. It was struck from the regular 1870 three-dollar gold piece 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. Two are believed known in aluminum. It is struck in aluminum with a reeded edge. USPatterns.com rates it R-8. It is also catalogued as Pollock-1165 and Adams-Woodin 839. Cataloged as PCGS #61278.
