Description

Closing the 1872 double eagle series and the entire 1872 Trade Dollar era pattern program, J-1254 completes the seven-variety survey of America's highest denomination. The comprehensive 1872 double eagle group, anchored by the legendary Amazonian gilt variant and spanning five distinct compositions, represents the most thorough single-year exploration of the $20 denomination in American pattern history. As the final entry in the 1872 program, J-1254 marks the transition to the climactic year of 1873.
