1870 25C Standard Silver Quarter Dollar, Judd-919, Pollock-1023, High R.7, PR64 PCGS. The obverse features the bust of Liberty wearing a coronet with LIBERTY inscribed in raised letters. The motto IN GOD WE TRUST is on a scroll below. The reverse has 25 CENTS inside a wreath of oak and laurel leaves with STANDARD SILVER above and 1870 below. Struck in silver with a plain edge. Less than a dozen examples are known of the silver, plain edge variety. Examples were also struck in silver with a reeded edge, as well as copper and aluminum pieces (both reeded and plain edge). This pattern comes with an old-time holder that identifies it as an AW-945 and states it is from the Farouk Collection. We have no definitive proof of this, but the piece was lightly cleaned and King Farouk did employ a conservator for his coins.
