[0710] 1870 Pattern Quarter Dollar. Aluminum, reeded
<Our item number 79158><B>1870 Pattern Quarter Dollar. Aluminum, reeded edge.</B> <B> Judd-880. Pollock-978.</B> <B>PCGS graded Proof 65.</B> Here is a Gem quality example of an extremely rare pattern, William Barber&#39;s seated quarter design with the &#34;Standard&#34; reverse. It is very sharply struck with all details visible on both sides. The brilliant proof fields with deep liquidy surfaces provide a lovely cameo effect with the frosty devices. Curiously, the name of the issuing authority, the &#34;United States of America&#34; is nowhere to be seen on either side. Currently rated <B> Rarity High 7 with only 4 to 6 pieces estimated to exist</B>. As one or more may be permanently impounded in museums, how many might be available to collectors, especially in this lofty state of preservation? We feel safe in hazarding this guess...very few! When considered versus comparable rarities in other series of American coins, this one may be quite under-valued. <B>Pop 2 with one in 66.</B><B> NGC has graded a si ngle example in PF-64.</B> It is reasonable to assume that some of these may be resubmissions, crossovers, etc. Housed in an old green label PCGS holder. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;5,000-6,000. <BR><BR>Our item number 79158<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/31jpegs/079158.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/31jpegs/079158N2.jpg"> </P></IMAGES> <BR><DIV ALIGN="CENTER"> <TABLE> <TR> <TD><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/ilgebaylogo.JPG"></TD> <TD> 350 South Beverly Drive Suite 350<BR> Beverly Hills, CA 90212, USA<BR> Telephone: 310-551-2646<BR> Fax: 310-551-2626<BR> E-Mail: <A HREF="mailto:brian@goldbergcoins.com"> info@goldbergcoins.com </TD> </TR> </TABLE> <font color=red> <h3>There is a 20% commission charge added to each and every lot.</h3></font> <P>We are one of the country's premier auction houses, specializing in U.S., World and Ancient Coins and Currency; Autographs; Manuscripts; Rare Books and other Fine Collectibles.
