Description

The aluminum variant of J-1151, this dollar pattern continues the systematic three-metal testing protocol. These final-third entries in the 1871 dollar series represent the mature phase of the Trade Dollar design competition, where the accumulated experience of dozens of earlier experiments informed each new proposal. The design concepts grew increasingly focused and practical as the series progressed.

Rarity Notes

R-7 to R-8. Very rare, approximately 3-8 examples known.
