Description

Completing the innovative Liberty Head trio in aluminum, J-1098 combines the most radical design concept in the 1871 quarter series with the most experimental composition. The pairing of a new design approach with an unconventional metal doubled the experimental character of this pattern, making it a bold statement of the era's commitment to exploring every possible avenue of coinage innovation simultaneously.

Rarity Notes

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