Description

Closing the monumental sixty-two-variety 1873 dollar pattern series and the entire Trade Dollar era pattern program for the dollar denomination, J-1332 represents the final statement in the most intensive single-denomination design competition in American Mint history. From J-1120 in 1871 to this concluding entry, over 140 distinct dollar patterns documented three years of creative ambition, political pressure, and artistic evolution that produced the Trade Dollar, America's first and only coin designed specifically for international commerce.

Rarity Notes
