Description

This proof quarter pattern is the fifteenth variety in the 1869 series. J-735 was produced during the final year of the Reconstruction era, a period that saw the Mint at its most experimentally productive. The quarter pattern program's scale reflects the ambition of the era, with the Mint envisioning a comprehensive renewal of the national coinage that would match the political and social renewal being attempted across the country.
