Description

A copper rendering of the hybrid Seated Liberty and Liberty Head concept from J-1102, this quarter pattern demonstrates the design synthesis in warm base metal. The copper composition reveals the artistic compromise between tradition and innovation with particular clarity, as the contrasting design elements each catch light differently on the copper surface. This piece is among the most aesthetically complex quarter patterns in the 1871 Trade Dollar era series.
