Description
A copper rendering of the Liberty Head quarter eagle design, J-1231 translates the $2.50 gold concept into warm ungilded base metal. The copper quarter eagle provides the standard comparison piece for evaluating how the established gold-denomination design performs in a non-precious composition, with the copper's warm tones creating a visual effect distinctly different from gold's characteristic yellow.
