Description
Plain-edge silver, J-919 presents the single-star headband Liberty Head and regular-issue eagle reverse without edge reeding. The single-star headband design achieves a particularly harmonious effect when paired with the eagle reverse, as the clean lines of the headband complement the detailed naturalism of the eagle without visual competition between the two sides. This die combination represented the most conservative design evolution from the existing Seated Liberty quarter: retaining the reverse entirely while updating only the obverse to a more modern portrait format.
Rarity Notes
R-7. Extremely rare, estimated 4-12 examples survive.
