Description
The 1860 Proof Quarter Eagle Pattern - J-270 is a proof quarter eagle struck at the Philadelphia Mint, part of the Civil War Patterns (1860-1865) series. It combines the high-date 1857 quarter eagle obverse of J-189 with an 1860 reverse die used on no other copper pattern, so UNITED STATES OF AMERICA appears on neither side; one was offered in Edward Cogan's May 1860 sale. It is struck in copper with a reeded edge; USPatterns rates it R-7. Catalogued as Judd-270, Pollock-318, A/W 324. Cataloged as PCGS #12072.
