The 1875 proof was struck in approximately 700 proofs. The proof shows the design in full mirrored relief. Proof production during the depression years continued without interruption, reflecting the insulation of the collector market from broader economic cycles. Collectors who could afford proof sets in 1875 were wealthy enough that a national depression did not affect their purchasing.
