Description

The aluminum version of the near-adopted trade dollar design, J-1312 preserves this historically pivotal concept in the most enduring experimental composition. Among the most important aluminum patterns in American numismatic history, this piece documents the Trade Dollar design at the moment of its adoption in a medium that will resist tarnishing and corrosion indefinitely.

Rarity Notes

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