Patterns
1869 25C Standard Silver Quarter Dollar, Judd-721, Pollock-802, R.5, PR65 NGC. The obverse features a bust right of Liberty wearing a cap ornamented with three stars. A scroll bearing IN GOD WE TRUST is below. The reverse depicts 25 CENTS centered in a small wreath of oak and laurel leaves with STANDARD SILVER above and the date 1869 below. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. While this is a fairly common Standard Silver pattern, there are surprisingly few high-grade examples known. NGC has only certified five other Gems with five pieces finer, while PCGS has graded none in PR65 and one finer (3/17). Each side is covered with deep rose-golden and blue toning with strong underlying mirrors in the fields.
Ex: FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2007), lot 1394; Sacramento Signature ANA (Heritage, 3/2011), lot 4395.
