Description

Struck in the standard silver alloy, J-1298 presents a design that incorporates refinements to both the obverse Liberty figure and the reverse eagle based on accumulated feedback from the preceding entries. This late-middle section of the 1873 series shows the design converging toward its final form, with proportional adjustments and detail refinements that address the specific concerns raised during the evaluation process.

Rarity Notes

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