This design has been known since its first appearance in the March 1876 Haseltine sale.

Examples were struck as follows:

Silver J1301/P1443 with 3 or 4 examples known as shown below.

3) Farouk, Lohr, Merkin 2/71, Bass I sale, Stacks 5/03, Heritage 5/05, ANR 1/06 - PCGS63

A fourth may be the Vickery, 72 ANA example if it does not duplicate the Fred coin.

Copper J1301/P1443 with at least 3 known as follows:

1) Hughes 7/80, Wyoming collection

2) Brand, Farouk, Dibello, Champa, Harte, Superior 5/92, Stacks 11/10, Stacks-Bowers 3/12 - PCGS60RB.

2) Bowers and Merena 1/99 as PCGS63, ANR 7/05 now PCGS64.

The listing for this in copper with a plain edge J1302/P1444 is believed to be an error.
