$15,000 PR65 03-01-1980 Bowers & Ruddy

Description

Featuring another obverse design variant with subtle modifications to the Liberty figure's positioning and the surrounding legend, J-1099 was struck in the standard silver alloy. The systematic progression through multiple obverse variants for the quarter denomination reflects the era's methodical approach to design evaluation, with each modification documented in metal for comparison and critique by Mint officials and congressional overseers.
