Description
Presenting a design that incorporates elements from both the Seated Liberty and Liberty Head traditions, J-1102 was struck in the standard silver alloy and paired with an eagle reverse. This hybrid approach attempted to bridge the gap between the familiar and the innovative, retaining recognizable elements of the established quarter design while introducing fresh artistic ideas. The synthesis represents one of Barber's more nuanced design strategies for updating the quarter denomination.
