About This Coin

In 1883, coins were struck at the Philadelphia Mint. The obverse features experimental designs exploring artistic improvements to U.S. coinage and the reverse displays various experimental designs. Struck during the Gilded Age of rapid industrialization and the great silver debates, when monetary policy shaped elections and economic destiny. A notable auction result reached $20K in PR65 grade at Stack's. Designed by Charles E. Barber, George T. Morgan, and others.
