Description

This is an undated hub trial in white metal of the Seated Liberty With Drapery design, listed under the quarter dollar. A recent discovery, it was sold together with the pattern Judd-110 in 2007, 2011, 2012 and 2021. uspatterns reports that it is thought to be a real trial, made by Robert Ball Hughes about 1840; John Dannreuther notes it was made from the same model as Judd-110 before reduction, and Roger Burdette suggests it may belong to the Barclay experiments of about 1857-1858.
