1792 Quarter Die Trial - J-A1792-2, Eagle on Globe
Strike Type
Coin Details
Description
This white metal die trial shows the reverse of the 1792 Wright quarter pattern on its own: an eagle standing on a globe, within a ring of small stars and the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. The same reverse was used on Judd-12, struck in copper, and Judd-13, in white metal. The obverse die appears alone on the companion trial, Judd-A1792-1; each trial is unique, and the two have stayed together since the Bushnell sale of 1882, later passing through the Garrett collection. Joseph Wright, credited with the dies, died in the yellow fever epidemic of 1793.
