Description

The 1977 Proof Dollar Pattern - J-2171 is Frank Gasparro's design with a Liberty head, proposed for a small-size dollar. Gasparro's bust of Liberty with a pole and cap was recommended by the Treasury, but the 1978 bill substituted Susan B. Anthony, and his Anthony portrait went on the coin issued from 1979 (Wikipedia). USPatterns.com says three different trial strikes were made on copper-nickel clad planchets and that it is unclear whether any still exist; PCGS lists the number as 1977 S$1 J-2171 (PCGS #12243).
