Description
The 1916 Proof Quarter Pattern - J-1989 is a proof quarter pattern struck at the Philadelphia Mint, part of the Design Reform Patterns (1880-1942) series. It is struck from dies different from the regular issue, and Stack's linked it to an October 1916 letter in which two leaves near the L of LIBERTY were scratched off a sample coin; USPatterns.com believes this is that coin, and a second example was found later. It is struck in silver with a reeded edge. USPatterns.com rates it R-8. Earlier editions of Judd numbered it J-1795. It is also catalogued as Pollock-2050 and Taxay EP1329. Cataloged as PCGS #62285.
