Description

The aluminum variant of J-1093's modified Seated Liberty quarter, this pattern extends the design exploration into the exotic lightweight metal. Quarter-sized aluminum patterns are among the most physically striking pieces in the Trade Dollar era program because the denomination's larger diameter makes the near-weightlessness particularly noticeable and unsettling when held alongside a standard silver quarter.

Rarity Notes

R-7 to R-8. Very rare, approximately 3-8 examples known.
