Description

The 1866 Proof Quarter Pattern - J-537 is a proof quarter pattern struck at the Philadelphia Mint, part of the Reconstruction Era Patterns (1866-1869) series. It was struck from the regular 1866 Seated Liberty quarter dies, with the motto, so its design matches the regular coin; only the metal differs. Judd lists it in copper with a reeded edge, and USPatterns.com rates it R-7. Judd classes it as a die trial, a strike from regular dies in a metal other than the coin's own. USPatterns.com accounts for four and believes they were made for sale to collectors. It is catalogued as Judd-537, Pollock-601, Adams-Woodin 538. Cataloged as PCGS #60735.
