Description
The 1875 Proof Twenty Cent Pattern - J-1402 is a proof twenty-cent pattern struck at the Philadelphia Mint, part of the Metric & Stella Patterns (1874-1879) series. Its obverse is William Barber's Liberty at the Seashore design, a seated Liberty beside the sea with a steamship in the distance; the Mint paired it with three twenty-cent reverses and used a modified version on trade dollar patterns of 1875 and 1876. Its reverse is close to the twenty-cent reverse adopted in 1875, except that the second arrowhead points well above the T of TWENTY and all three leaves point toward the eagle's wing. Three or four are known in nickel. It is struck in nickel with a plain edge. USPatterns.com rates it R-8. It is also catalogued as Pollock-1545, Adams-Woodin 1445 and Taxay EP982. Cataloged as PCGS #61709.
