1873 Proof Dollar Pattern - J-1289

Coin Details

Description

Continuing the intensive design refinement in standard silver, J-1289 presents another variation in the narrowing field of trade dollar candidates. The design competition by this point had eliminated the more radical proposals, leaving a shortlist of closely related concepts that differed primarily in proportional details, legend placement, and the specific symbolic elements accompanying Liberty.

Rarity Notes

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