Description
The 1871 Proof Half Dime Pattern - J-1073 is a proof half dime pattern struck at the Philadelphia Mint, part of the Trade Dollar Era Patterns (1871-1873) series. It was struck from the regular 1871 half dime dies. USPatterns.com regards the 1871 off-metal strikings from the regular dies as pieces made for sale to collectors in complete sets, cent through double eagle, rather than true die trials. The single nickel piece is ex Brenner (1914 ANS exhibition) and Brand. It is struck in nickel with a reeded edge. USPatterns.com lists it as unique. It is also catalogued as Pollock-1209 and Adams-Woodin 1177. Cataloged as PCGS #61332.
