Lot 1098
1869 Pattern Quarter, Judd-723, Pollock-804, Rarity-6. Copper, reeded edge. . J-723. PCGS graded Proof 64 Brown. One of the popular Standard Silver issues that is struck in copper. The surfaces are clean for the grade and we note quite a bit of original mint color shining up from beneath the layer of toning. Clean fields and devices, and this is certainly a near gem coin that pushes the assigned grade. Only 5 example have been graded by PCGS, one as PR-63, the others all PR-64, in various degrees of red to brown. NGC has only graded a single specimen, PR-65 Red. Perhaps this issue should be a low rarity-7, as precious few have turned up, at least at the grading services. Keep that in mind when formulating your bid.
Estimated Value $1,200 - 1,500.
With an old paper envelope that notes the price of $42.50 for this coin.
