Description

Judd-388, Pollock-459, is the fifth 1864 proof quarter motto pattern. This late-series variety approaches the final adopted design configuration. The extensive testing of the quarter denomination reflects the coin's prominence in everyday commerce — when silver coins eventually returned to circulation after the war, the quarter would be one of the most frequently encountered denominations, making the motto's legibility and aesthetic quality particularly important.

Rarity Notes

Rarity-6 to R-7. Approximately 10-15 specimens known.
