Description
Extending the modified design of J-1108 into aluminum, J-1110 tests the refined Seated Liberty concept in the lightweight experimental metal. The half dollar diameter makes the aluminum composition's impracticality most apparent among all the denomination experiments, yet the artistic quality of the proof striking is undeniable. These aluminum half dollar patterns rank among the most spectacular anomalies in 19th-century American numismatics.
Rarity Notes
R-7 to R-8. Very rare, approximately 3-8 examples known.
