Lot 1074
1870 Pattern Quarter Dollar, J-910, rarity 7, aluminum, reeded edge. PCGS graded Proof 65. Pollock-999, AW-944. A Standard Silver issue with the head of Liberty wearing a liberty cap decorated with three stars, on the reverse 25 CENTS in an oak and laurel wreath, with date below and STANDARD SILVER above. A true gem that looks like it was made today, the mirror fields are mint fresh and show few signs of handling or even hairlines, while the design elements show high quality mint frost. One or two minor ticks from perfection. Clearly the finest graded, with a single coin graded a notch below, these are the only two seen by PCGS.
From Empire Coin Company at a cost of $47.50, then to the Madison Collection.
