$36,000 PR65 03-01-1980 Bowers & Ruddy
Description
A copper impression from the same Seated Liberty and eagle reverse dies as J-1120, this dollar pattern provides the base-metal comparison for the series' opening design concept. At the silver dollar's substantial diameter, the copper composition creates one of the most impressive base-metal patterns in the entire Trade Dollar era program. The piece demonstrates how the proposed dollar design would translate across metals while serving as a reference point for evaluating the standard silver alloy.
