Comments

“When the traveler reverse pattern was revived in 1968, the composition was changed to nickel. To facilitate striking in hard metal, the diameter was considerably reduced.” - Standard Charlton catalog Volume I

Year error KM #76.1 for Specimen, not 1965 but 1969.

“In 1972, the standard traveler reverse was used. The obverse and reverse are the same as for the 1968-1969 issues. The physical and chemical specifications are the same as for the 1968-1969 issues.” - Standard Charlton Catalogue Volume I

“The designs used for the 1975-1976 Traveler Dollars were essentially continuations of earlier designs, with the exception of some minor variations on the obverse. The physical and chemical specifications are the same as for the 1974 issue.” - Standard Charlton Catalogue Volume I
