Description
The 1871 Proof Quarter Pattern - J-1095 is a proof quarter pattern struck at the Philadelphia Mint, part of the Trade Dollar Era Patterns (1871-1873) series. Its obverse is James B. Longacre's Indian Princess design, cut into dies by William Barber, who succeeded Longacre after his death in 1869: Liberty, in an Indian headdress, sits facing left with her left hand on a globe bearing a LIBERTY scroll and her right holding a pole topped by a liberty cap, with flags behind her. This die has no stars around the border, and the reverse is the regular reverse of the denomination. USPatterns.com reports that the Mint sold the Longacre designs in sets running from the half dime up to the silver dollar. Two are confirmed in aluminum. It is struck in aluminum with a reeded edge. USPatterns.com rates it R-8. It is also catalogued as Pollock-1231, Adams-Woodin 1155 and Taxay EP820. Cataloged as PCGS #61354.
