1932-Pattern-Quarter?

How valuable are these? What is the story behind them? I've never heard of pattern coins and my Red Book doesn't say much either. Thoughts? Thanks!

A web search of T. Cremona failed to come up with anyone by that name. Nor did a search for Washington quarter patterns. Typically pattern coins had mintages of less than 100 so this coin with a mintage of 25,000 seems out of character for a Mint struck pattern. Do you have a photo of the reverse? It would be interesting to see if it has a denomination, E Pluribus Unum, and United States of America all of which are required on U. S. coins.

Reverse:
1932-Pattern-Quarter?

I'm guessing this is a modern-made coin then?

It's a private-party strike. I've seen them before. All I know is some 25,000 were struck by some private firm, and it's a bit of a disappointment to see one in a SEGS slab. It's like slabbing a Franklin Mint "commemorative."

Promotional piece - not struck in 1932. I agree, it like having a Franklin mint coin.
