Patterns
1865 25C Quarter Dollar, Judd-425, Pollock-497, High R.6, PR64 Cameo NGC. Both sides are the regular With Motto designs, with the motto IN GOD WE TRUST on a scroll above the eagle, as adopted in 1866. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. The various "pattern" issues of the design including quarter dollars, half dollars, and dollars, are actually restrikes intended for collectors and coined in the late 1860s or early 1870s. About a dozen examples of this variety are known. It is fully brilliant and untoned with deeply mirrored fields and excellent contrast.
