1871 Proof Dollar Pattern - J-1132a

Coin Details

Description

A die variety of J-1132 distinguished by minor positional differences in the design elements, this dollar pattern shares the same overall obverse and reverse concepts but exhibits variations cataloged separately in the Judd reference. Die varieties among dollar patterns are particularly significant because the high-stakes nature of the trade dollar competition meant that even minor adjustments were carefully documented and evaluated by Mint officials seeking the optimal final design.

Rarity Notes

R-7. Extremely rare, estimated 4-12 examples known.
