Lot 1033
1882 Pattern Quarter Dollar. Copper, reeded edge. PCGS graded Proof 65 Red & Brown. One of the prettiest and most popular of all Pattern designs, yet neither side ever made it onto a regular issue coin. The obverse features Miss Liberty with a hairband tight around the back of her head, wearing a Union shield as an earring. On the reverse, a defiant eagle clutches the usual olive branch and cluster of arrows. Listed as High Rarity-7, but this variety hardly ever appears at auction. At this graded level, PCGS has graded only a single example, with none finer.
Estimated Value $14,000 - 18,000.
