1871 Proof Dime Pattern - J-1075

Coin Details

Auction Record

$6,300 PR66BN 08-20-2019 Stack's Bowers

Description

A copper striking from the same Seated Liberty and wreath reverse dies as J-1074, this dime pattern provides the familiar base-metal comparison that was standard practice throughout the pattern program. The copper composition reveals details in the Seated Liberty figure and wreath that can be obscured by silver's higher reflectivity, making these base-metal proofs particularly informative for evaluating die quality and design execution.

Rarity Notes

R-6 to R-7. Approximately 10-15 examples estimated.
