Description
The aluminum member of J-1215's design group, J-1217 translates the commercially-oriented trade dollar concept into the exotic lightweight metal. Each successive aluminum dollar pattern in the 1872 series built upon the visual and tactile database that pattern collectors and Mint officials used to evaluate competing designs, with the aluminum's bright surface and fine detail reproduction providing a distinctive viewing experience.
