Description
1872 Quarter Eagle in Aluminum
Judd-1234, PR65 Deep Cameo
1872 $2 1/2 Quarter Eagle, Judd-1234, Pollock-1376, R.8, PR65
Deep Cameo PCGS. CAC. Ex: Simpson. Described as a regular dies
trial strike; however, USPatterns.com suggests these off-metal
"trials" were deliberately produced for sale to collectors. Struck
in aluminum with a reeded edge. Examples were produced in aluminum
and copper, and both are rare, with fewer than four of each
confirmed to exist. This is only the second example we have handled
since 1993. We sold the same PR63 in 2011 and again in 2014. As
with most aluminum patterns, the fields are deeply reflective.
Likewise, the devices display thick mint frost. In this case, both
the mirrored fields and mint frost are extreme, which accounts for
the Deep Cameo designation. Fully struck.Collecting Patterns – A Brief History and Commentary
