Description

A copper rendering of one of the year's final trade dollar designs, J-1228 provides a clear base-metal record of the design's end-of-year state. The piece serves as a bridge between the extensive experimentation of 1872 and the decisive action of 1873, documenting the concept that the Mint carried forward into the climactic final year of the Trade Dollar design competition.

R-6 to R-7. Approximately 10-15 examples estimated.
