Republic copper Pattern 1/4 Real 1828 MS63 Brown NGC, Soho mint, KM-Pn17. By John Sherriff. A delightful pattern, with particularly pronounced prooflike qualities for a strike in copper. Both the obverse and reverse devices are frosty and matte, a stark contrast to the fields behind; these are flashy and reflective, and aglow with a beautiful deep cobalt tone fringed with russet and green notes. Particularly colorful and visually appealing for this metal, scarce, and highly enticing. From the David O'Harrow Collection.
