Description

The copper companion to J-1090, this quarter pattern renders the Seated Liberty with motto obverse and heraldic eagle reverse in warm base metal. At the quarter's larger diameter, the copper composition brings dramatic visual impact to the design, with the eagle's detailed feathering and the scroll bearing IN GOD WE TRUST rendered with exceptional clarity. Copper quarter patterns from this era are prized by collectors for their aesthetic appeal and relative scarcity.
