1871 25C Standard Silver Quarter Dollar,
<B>1871 25C Standard Silver Quarter Dollar, Judd-1098, Pollock-1234, R.8, PR66 PCGS.</B></I> The Longacre design for the Standard Silver series with stars encircling the obverse, paired with the usually seen Standard Silver reverse from this year. Stuck in aluminum with a reeded edge. This design also exists in silver and copper, and approximately a dozen examples are known in each metal. Aluminum pieces are far rarer and apparently only three are known today. This is a superior example and the finest certified. The population data shows both services have graded four coins, but one is undoubtedly a regrade. The fields are unfathomably deep in their reflectivity and the devices are heavily frosted. But this coin is housed in an older holder prior to PCGS' designation of coins with cameo contrast. Brilliant throughout with a few tiny planchet flakes on each side. <BR><I>Ex: Auction '90 (Superior session, 8/1990), lot 1419.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
