Description
A copper rendering of the opening trade dollar design from J-1274, this pattern demonstrates the first 1873 concept in warm base metal. The copper composition allows clear evaluation of the design's sculptural qualities independently of the silver alloy's reflective properties. These early 1873 dollar patterns set the stage for the intensive design refinement that would produce the final adopted Trade Dollar within months.
