Owner Comments:


1870 25C
Judd-922, Pollock-1027
Rarity: High R.7 (Only 3-7 Pieces) CAC Endorsed

Struck in aluminum with a reeded edge.

Obverse: Liberty Head wearing a headband mounted with a star and her hair tied back in a bun. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is around and the motto IN GOD WE TRUST on scroll below.
Reverse: The denomination 25 CENTS is centered within the wreath of oak and Laurel while the date 1870 is outside and at the bottom of the wreath of Oaks and Laurel of and the inscription STANDRAD SILVER is at top.

Comment: Less than a half dozen examples are believed known of this variant, This problem-free aluminum striking shows the expected deep mirroring in the fields and thick mint frost over the devices. Problem-free throughout.
