1873 Proof Dollar Pattern - J-1297

Coin Details

Description

The aluminum version of J-1295, this trade dollar pattern preserves the reverse-focused concept in lightweight metal. The aluminum rendering's fine surface allows the eagle's detailed feathering and the arrangement of commercial elements to be studied with particular precision, supporting the critical evaluation of the reverse design that would face scrutiny in Asian markets.

Rarity Notes

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