1865 25C Quarter Dollar, Judd-426, Pollock-498, Low R.7, PR66 Brown NGC. This so-called transitional quarter is similar to the adopted design of 1866, although the motto IN GOD WE TRUST has been placed on a scroll in the reverse field above the eagle. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. About a dozen pieces are known of this Mint-made striking for contemporary collectors. Chocolate-brown toning transforms to electric-blue and violet-red when this wonderfully preserved example is rotated beneath a light. A vibrant Gem worthy of a close look and a strong bid.
Ex: Palm Beach Signature (Heritage, 3/2005), lot 6669; ANA Signature (Heritage, 8/2007), lot 2706; Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 6/2010), lot 1468.
