Description
Plain-edge silver, J-913 presents the inscribed-diadem Liberty Head and regular-issue eagle reverse in a format favored by collectors for its visual completeness. The diadem Liberty portrait's restrained elegance pairs naturally with the detailed eagle reverse, and pattern specialists have long noted that this die combination achieves one of the most harmonious aesthetic balances among the 1870 quarter varieties. The plain edge permits the design to extend fully to the rim on both faces, allowing uninterrupted appreciation of the marriage between Barber's proposed obverse and the established reverse.
