Lot 1237
1870 Pattern Quarter Dollar. Aluminum, reeded edge. Judd-886. Pollock-985. High Rarity 7. PCGS graded MS-65. CAC Approved. A shimmering aluminum bright coin. Stark glowing fields swirl with luster causing the mint brilliance to dart across the surface in all directions, seeking an escape from the confines of the rims. In addition, the coin possesses a nice, clear-cut strike for all areas with outstanding detail at the stars, William Barber's petite Liberty (who in this rendition is seated facing left instead of right as on the regular issue coins). The eagle side, meaning the reverse, is from the regular Proof With Motto dies this year, and struck with the same exactitude as every US Proof of 1870 coin, as well as the same crispness as on the obverse. In short, the devices show an incredible bold strike. Pop 1; 1 finer in 66.
Estimated Value $9,000 - 9,500.
Ex Simpson Collection.
