1869 Pattern Quarter Dollar. Judd-721, Pollock-802. Rarity-5. Silver. Reeded Edge. Proof-64 (PCGS). CMQ.
Obv: Standard Silver design with a bust of Liberty facing right, the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around the border and the motto IN GOD WE TRUST on a scroll below. Liberty is wearing a cap ornamented with three stars, and a ribbon crossing her shoulder is inscribed LIBERTY. Rev: A wreath of oak and laurel leaves encircles the denomination 25 CENTS with the inscription STANDARD SILVER above and the date 1869 below. Lightly toned in sandy-gold iridescence that appears to drift toward the borders, direct lighting calls forth more vivid undertones of reddish-apricot and powder blue. It is a fully reflective specimen with razor sharp striking detail from the rims to the centers. This popular and relatively obtainable type was originally issued as part of pattern Proof sets with examples of the other designs and denominations in the Standard Silver series.
