Description

Proof dollar pattern struck in 1875, during the height of metric coinage experimentation, coinciding with the introduction of the Twenty Cent piece and continued exploration of international trade denominations. This proof striking in silver or goloid is part of the dollar denomination experiments ranging from standard silver designs to goloid metric compositions, representing the core of the era's coinage reform efforts conducted at the Philadelphia Mint under Chief Engraver William Barber.

Rarity Notes

R-5 to R-7 (Rare to Extremely Rare). Dollar patterns from the goloid metric series vary in survival rate, with some varieties more accessible than others.
