Description

A proof striking of J-738, the eighteenth variety in the 1869 quarter pattern series. The penultimate group of patterns in the program documents the near-final state of Barber's design exploration for the denomination. These late-series designs represent the culmination of months of experimental work and showcase the new Chief Engraver's most confident artistic statements for the quarter.
