Judd-727, Pollock- 808
Rarity: R.5; PR64+
EX: Simpson
Struck in silver with a reeded edge.
Obverse: Bust of Liberty wearing a diadem (tiara) inscribed LIBERTY (without any stars) and her hair is tied back into a bun. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is around and the motto IN GOD WE TRUST is in a scroll 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
Bold mirrors beam strong from all over. A nice mix of pewter/blue/deep gold/violet swirls all over. Miss Liberty and every detail are full y struck and have delicate frosting. The eye appeal is pretty!
