Description
The copper companion to J-1068, this half dime pattern reproduces the Seated Liberty obverse and modified reverse in a composition that highlights the design's finer details. Among collectors of Trade Dollar era patterns, copper strikings of half dime designs hold particular fascination because the denomination never existed in copper for commerce, making every such piece a purely experimental artifact with no production counterpart.
Rarity Notes
R-6 to R-7. Approximately 10-15 examples estimated.
