Description
The 1861 Quarter Eagle Pattern - J-281 is a quarter eagle from the Philadelphia Mint, belonging to the Civil War Patterns (1860-1865) series. USPatterns thinks this silver striking of the regular 1861 quarter eagle dies is more likely a Mint error: the three known pieces are business strikes on dime planchets. It is struck in silver with a reeded edge; USPatterns rates it R-7. Catalogued as Judd-281, Pollock-332, A/W 343. Cataloged as PCGS #12112.
