$3,720 PR66 05-12-2024 Heritage Auctions
Description
Beginning the eighth and final standard design group, J-918 combines the single-star headband Liberty Head from the fifth group with the regular-issue With Motto eagle reverse. This die marriage completes the systematic pairing of all Liberty Head obverse variants with both the STANDARD and eagle reverse types, giving Linderman and Congress a comprehensive catalog of design possibilities for the proposed quarter dollar. Struck in silver with a reeded edge, this variety mirrors J-900 in obverse design but substitutes the established eagle reverse for the experimental STANDARD wreath, offering a direct comparison between old and new reverse concepts.
