Description

Struck in the standard silver alloy, J-1320 features the Trade Dollar design at a critical stage in the final selection process. This pattern, originally cataloged within the primary 1873 dollar sequence between J-1319 and J-1321, documents one of the design variants evaluated during the most decisive phase of the competition. The obverse and reverse treatments on this piece are closely related to the adopted design but exhibit distinguishing characteristics that place it among the final alternatives considered.
