Description

The 1873 Proof Dollar Pattern - J-1299 is a proof dollar pattern struck at the Philadelphia Mint, part of the Trade Dollar Era Patterns (1871-1873) series. Its obverse varies the seated Liberty with globe of J-1290, with longer plow handles, a larger globe and wheat sheaf and a smaller cotton bale, and its reverse is William Barber's eagle standing on a shield with E PLURIBUS UNUM in the field above. It was struck only in white metal, and four are traced. USPatterns.com notes that many of the white metal trade dollar patterns came from the collection of Mint Director Henry Linderman and may have been struck for his own cabinet. It is struck in white metal with a plain edge. USPatterns.com rates it R-7. It is also catalogued as Pollock-1441, Adams-Woodin 1335 and Taxay EP942. Cataloged as PCGS #61584.
