Description

A copper rendering of J-1212's trade dollar concept, this pattern translates the design into warm base metal at the full dollar diameter. The 1872 copper dollar patterns collectively document the refinement process that transformed broad design concepts into increasingly specific proposals suitable for congressional approval. Each copper striking provides a uniquely clear view of the design's sculptural qualities.
