Coin Details

Auction Record

$25,850 PR66 04-24-2013 Heritage Auctions

Description

The aluminum member of J-1292's design group, J-1294 extends the consensus concept into the exotic lightweight composition. As the 1873 series moves deeper into the J-number sequence, the aluminum strikings document the increasingly refined state of the Trade Dollar design as it approached its definitive form.

Rarity Notes

R-7 to R-8. Very rare, approximately 3-8 examples survive.
