Description

A copper striking of the obverse variant introduced in J-1099, this quarter pattern continues the serial design evaluation in base metal. By this point in the 1871 quarter series, each new copper striking added another data point to an increasingly comprehensive catalog of design options for the denomination's future. The warmth of copper lends each variant its own distinctive character, distinguishable at a glance from the standard silver versions.

Rarity Notes

R-6 to R-7. Approximately 10-15 examples estimated.
