Description

A proof impression of J-732, continuing the latter half of the 1869 quarter pattern program. The quarter was among the denominations most frequently used in retail transactions, and the design chosen to replace the Seated Liberty would need to perform reliably across millions of pieces struck each year. These pattern varieties test not just aesthetic concepts but also the practical durability of each design under production conditions.

Rarity Notes
