Description

A proof impression of the fourth 1869 quarter pattern variety. The early entries in the twenty-one variety program present the major design families being evaluated, with J-724 potentially showcasing a fundamentally different approach from the preceding three varieties. The quarter's mid-range position in the silver denomination hierarchy made it an important test case for design concepts that might eventually be applied to both smaller and larger silver coins.

Rarity Notes

R.6 to R.7. Estimated 10-15 examples survive.
