Description

A copper impression of the refined Commercial Eagle design from J-1129, this dollar pattern allows direct comparison with the preceding refinement. The copper composition makes subtle die differences between design iterations more readily apparent, as the softer metal captures every minute detail of the modified wing positioning and legend arrangement. Pattern collectors often compare copper strikings across sequential Judd numbers to trace the evolution of the trade dollar concept.

Rarity Notes

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