1873 Proof Dollar Pattern - J-1321

Coin Details

Description

A companion to J-1320, this trade dollar pattern was struck in the standard silver alloy and features a design variant closely related to the adopted Trade Dollar. The sequential J-1320 and J-1321 entries represent paired design concepts that were evaluated side by side during the final selection process, with each piece testing a slightly different treatment of the core design elements. Together, they document the precision of the final design deliberations that produced America's trade coin.

Rarity Notes

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