1871 Proof Dollar Pattern - J-1151

Coin Details

Description

Continuing the late-series exploration of dollar designs, J-1151 was struck in the standard silver alloy and features yet another subtle variation in the obverse treatment. The extraordinary productivity of William Barber in creating so many distinct dollar pattern varieties during 1871 reflects both the importance of the Trade Dollar design decision and the Chief Engraver's remarkable creative energy during this defining period of his career.

Rarity Notes

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