1872 Proof Dollar Pattern - J-1218

Coin Details

Description

Advancing the trade dollar design further toward its final form, J-1218 features a Seated Liberty with specific attributes that distinguish it as a trade-oriented design concept, struck in the standard silver alloy. The design at this point in the series shows increasing convergence toward the core elements that would characterize the adopted 1873 Trade Dollar: Liberty facing left, commercial symbolism on the reverse, and the denomination expressed at the heavier trade weight standard.

Rarity Notes

R-7. Extremely rare, estimated 4-12 examples survive.
