Description
1865 With Motto Quarter in Aluminum
Judd-427, PR64
Possibly Unique
1865 25C Quarter Dollar, Judd-427, Pollock-499, R.8, PR64
PCGS. This so-called transitional quarter used the With Motto
reverse from 1866-1891. Struck in aluminum with a reeded edge.
Examples are mostly known in silver and copper, with approximately
a dozen of each estimated extant. Of these, several were struck in
late 1865, others in 1869, and into the early 1870s. Only a single
example may be known in aluminum. USPatterns states: "Aluminum
J427/P499 which is possibly unique and not seen since its offering
in the Lohr fixed price list." Well-known pattern expert, Bob
Hughes, sold this piece to the consignor at some unspecified date,
and the Hughes flip accompanies. The fields are brightly mirrored
with the usually seen frosted contrast on the devices. A few dots
and streaks of light oxidation are seen on the obverse. A
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire this aluminum pattern.Coin Index Numbers: (PCGS# 60612, Greysheet# 12764)
