Description
A standard silver striking featuring a distinct obverse design with modifications to the star arrangement surrounding the Seated Liberty figure, J-1071 represents another chapter in the extensive half dime design survey of 1871. The positioning of stars on small-denomination obverse dies required particular care, as even slight spacing variations could dramatically affect the overall visual balance on these diminutive planchets.
Rarity Notes
R-7. Extremely rare, estimated 4-12 examples survive.
