Description
Closing the 1872 three-dollar series, J-1239 was struck in an additional composition that rounds out the most comprehensive three-dollar pattern program in any single year. With six varieties spanning standard silver, copper, gilt copper Amazonian, aluminum, copper-nickel, and this final composition, the 1872 three-dollar group demonstrates the thoroughness that characterized the Trade Dollar era's approach to pattern production, even for the most obscure denominations.
