Morgan's quarter eagle design struck in copper. These were struck on thinner and slightly wider 20.5mm vs 18mm planchets than the regular issue. About a dozen are believed to exist, several of which have been gilted including the illustrated example.
This design was also copied into a half eagle J1568/P1758.
Two examples were also struck in gold of J1566/P1756. One is ex Newcomer, Boyd, Judd, Wilkison, southern collection, Simpson collection and the other is ex Farouk.
