1872 Proof Dollar Pattern - J-1213a

Coin Details

Description

A die variety of J-1213 exhibiting distinct characteristics that earned separate cataloging in the Judd reference, this copper dollar pattern preserves a subtle but recognized variation of the trade dollar concept. Die varieties among dollar patterns are of particular significance because they may indicate that multiple working dies were produced for designs considered especially promising, or they may document sequential die states that reveal information about the production process.

Rarity Notes
