This is another impressive Proof example that ranks among the finest known. In addition to 25 Proof examples, a small total of 2,500 circulation strikes were minted this year. Approximately 12 examples survive including those in the Smithsonian Institution and American Numismatic Society. All Proofs of this issue were struck from a single die pair, with circulation strikes from a different die pair. As with 1868, examples were also struck in aluminum, as well as in copper.
