<B>1869 25C Standard Silver Quarter Dollar, Judd-735, Pollock-816, R.7,--Double Struck, Rotated in Collar--PR64 Red NGC.</B></I> A bust of Liberty faces right, with her hair tied in a bun. She wears a headband inscribed LIBERTY; the front of the band has a star. IN GOD WE TRUST is placed on a scroll in the exergue, and 25 CENTS is crowded within a wreath on the reverse. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. This pattern was double struck, and the first striking is plainly evident on each side.<BR> Errors on patterns are among the rarest of the rare. We can only remember one other double striking on a pattern, and that was also a Standard Silver pattern. The piece shows a 30 degree rotation between strikes. This is most noticeable on the obverse behind Liberty's head, between the D and S of UNITED STATES and at the top of the 2 in the denomination on the reverse. An outstanding rarity.<BR><I>Ex: Lenox Lohr (Empire Coin Co.
