Description
The copper companion to J-1335, this three-dollar pattern renders the Indian Princess design in warm base metal as one of the final three-dollar patterns in the Trade Dollar era program. Without the Amazonian gilt variant that distinguished the 1872 three-dollar group, the 1873 series returns to conventional composition testing. The piece documents the denomination's quiet conclusion in the pattern program as the Mint's attention shifted entirely to implementing the new Trade Dollar.
Rarity Notes
