Lot 1813
1869 Pattern Quarter Dollar. Silver, reeded edge. Judd-733. Pollock-814, High rarity-5. PCGS graded Proof 66. One of the finest of this popular issue to survive, this spectacular coin boasts glowing mirror fields and delicate gold peripheral toning. Cameo frost on the devices, and we note extensive die polishing lines on the fields and devices. The surfaces are pristine, and close examination fails to locate any tick worth describing. Sharply struck on all the devices without a trace of weakness to be found, and truly a monumental coin for the grade. PCGS has graded only 4 this high, with none graded higher of this pattern issue (PCGS # 60960) .
Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,500.
From the Benson collection and purchased from Hollinbeck Stamp & Coin Company's auction circa 1944-46 lot 1554 for an unknown amount.
