Description

Judd-110. This quarter dollar pattern, attributed to approximately 1840, represents one of the transitional experimental pieces produced during the early Seated Liberty era. Cataloged as Judd-110 in the standard pattern reference, it belongs to a small group of quarter dollar patterns from this period when Mint engravers were still refining the Seated Liberty design that had been introduced on silver coinage in the late 1830s. Details regarding this specific variety remain scarce, reflecting its extreme rarity and the limited documentation surviving from this early period of American pattern coinage.
