Two examples of Joseph Wright's 1792 quarter design, struck in white metal, J13/P15 have been discovered among the holdings of the New York Historical Society.
This brings the number of known pieces in this metal to 4. Unlike the other two, ANS and Norweb, which are struck on jumbo piedfort planchets, these appear to be struck on more normal sized planchets.
These pieces were seen by Anthony Terranova and Michael Hodder among others prior to the 2002 ANA sale in New York but had not been mentioned since until they appeared in the June 9, 2003 edition of Coin World.
The coins themselves, INV.13862a and INV.13862b, as shown below, appear to be at least AU in grade.
