Owner Comments:
1869 25C Standard Silver Quarter,
Judd-737, Pollock-818
Rarity: High R.7; PR65CAM CAC Endorsed
Struck in Aluminum with a Reeded edge.
Obverse: Liberty, wearing a headband inscribed with LIBERTY in raised letters and a star at the front, faces right. A plain ribbon gracefully flows through Liberty's hair and across her shoulders. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is at the upper rim, with IN GOD WE TRUST in a ribbon below.
Reverse: The denomination "25 CENTS' in the center of a wreath composed of oak and laurel leaves, "STANDARD SILVER" is above the wreath and the date "1869" is below and outside the wreath at the border
Comment:
A minimally toned Gem with reflective fields. The strike shows incompleteness on the IB in LIBERTY and the EN in CENTS. Virtually as made, with lamination near the UN in UNITED and about the reverse periphery.
