1873 Proof Dollar Pattern - J-1280

Coin Details

Description

Presenting another design iteration in the standard silver alloy, J-1280 shows the continuing refinement of the trade dollar concept. The design at this early stage of the 1873 series reflects the lessons learned from the extensive 1871-1872 experimentation, with the successful elements of earlier concepts being progressively combined into increasingly polished proposals.

Rarity Notes

R-7. Extremely rare, estimated 4-12 examples survive.
