Description
Featuring a Liberty Head obverse paired with a Roman numeral III reverse, J-1185 was struck in the standard silver alloy and continues the three-cent denomination experiments from 1871. The 1872 three-cent patterns are more streamlined than their 1871 predecessors, with fewer design variants reflecting the increasing focus of the pattern program on the Trade Dollar itself rather than comprehensive denomination-wide experimentation.
Rarity Notes
R-7. Extremely rare, estimated 4-12 examples known.
