Lot 1076
1870 Pattern Quarter Dollar, J-922, rarity 7, aluminum, reeded edge. PCGS graded Proof 65. AW-1027, AW-950. One of the really rare Standard Silver issues, this is the only coin graded by PCGS of this pattern number. Well preserved for an aluminum piece, with deeply frosted devices and well preserved mirror fields. Problem free and worth a premium. The Standard Silver issues were made to promote trade overseas. Perhaps this coin is even rarer than indicated, with none graded aside from this piece by PCGS, who knows if any other well preserved ones exist? An opportunity for the specialist.
From Empire Coin Company at a cost of $47.50, then to the Madison Collection.
