Lot 1099
1869 Pattern Quarter, Judd-729, Pollock-810, Rarity-7, Copper, reeded edge. . J-729. NGC graded Proof 66 Brown. This coin is highly appealing for its rich mahogany toning and boldly struck design elements. One could not imagine a more beautiful example, unless it was full red! In this pristine state of preservation, the surfaces are of course nearly perfect, with resplendent spot-free fields and devices. No signs of handling or abuse whatsoever. Hints of original red on the reverse. NGC has graded 2 this high, with none graded higher. PCGS hasn't graded any higher than PF-65. Each service has graded 3 examples, so this is likely mid range rarity-7, with perhaps 8 known in all, this tied for the finest with one other. Certain to be a highlight of an advanced pattern collection.
Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,500.
