Description
A copper rendering of J-1148's proportionally refined dollar design, this pattern highlights the spacing and balance adjustments in the warm base-metal composition. The iterative refinement visible in the final third of the 1871 dollar series mirrors the design process used in modern coin programs, where initial concepts are successively polished through multiple rounds of critique and modification until the optimal expression is achieved.
Rarity Notes
R-6 to R-7. Approximately 10-15 examples estimated.
