Description
The copper companion to J-1272, this half dollar pattern closes the denomination's Trade Dollar era pattern history. At the half dollar's generous diameter, the copper composition produces an impressive base-metal proof that showcases the Seated Liberty design in its penultimate form before the eventual transition to the Barber design in 1892. The piece marks the end of extensive half dollar pattern production that had peaked with fifteen varieties in 1871.
Rarity Notes
R-6 to R-7. Approximately 10-15 examples estimated.
