Description
A copper rendering of the conventional Seated Liberty quarter design from J-1196, this pattern provides the base-metal comparison for the traditional approach. After the Amazonian design's bold departure, copper strikings of the standard design served as a visual anchor, reminding evaluators of the merits of familiar, proven design vocabulary. The warmth of copper gives the traditional Liberty figure an approachable quality that the more aggressive Amazonian design deliberately rejected.
