Description

Completing the motto-enhanced trio in aluminum, J-1125 extends the modified Seated Liberty dollar design into the exotic lightweight composition. The large diameter of the dollar planchet in aluminum creates an object of remarkable visual presence but startling weightlessness, a paradox that makes aluminum dollar patterns among the most memorable handling experiences in all of numismatics.

Rarity Notes

R-7 to R-8. Very rare, approximately 3-8 examples known.
