Description

The 1873 Proof Dollar Pattern - J-1304 is a proof dollar pattern struck at the Philadelphia Mint, part of the Trade Dollar Era Patterns (1871-1873) series. Its obverse is the long-handled seated Liberty of J-1299, and its reverse a small perched eagle holding three arrows and an olive branch, with E PLURIBUS UNUM on a ribbon above and 420 GRAINS, 900 FINE below. It was struck only in white metal, and two examples are believed confirmed. 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-8. It is also catalogued as Pollock-1446, Adams-Woodin 1336 and Taxay EP943. Cataloged as PCGS #61589.
