Auction Record
$9,200 PR64 07-12-2007 Heritage Auctions
Description
The aluminum version of J-1142's commercial Seated Liberty concept, J-1144 extends the trade-oriented design into exotic metal. By the mid-J-1140s, the dollar pattern series had moved decisively away from general standard silver experiments toward designs specifically conceived for the proposed Trade Dollar, reflecting the crystallization of congressional intent to authorize a new denomination for international commerce.
Rarity Notes
R-7 to R-8. Very rare, approximately 3-8 examples known.
