Description

1879 $20 Liberty Head Quintuple Stella, Judd-1644, Pollock-1844, Low R.7, PR64 Red and Brown PCGS. This is the same design as the gold quintuple stella, Judd-1643, also offered in this sale. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. Like many other copper pattern issues, about a dozen quintuples are known in copper, with just five pieces known in gold. A few of the copper pieces have been gold plated. Both sides of this important pattern exhibit nearly full orange mint color with slight mellowing to lighter brown. A tiny stain is evident in the field at Liberty's neck, and a small scrape in the left obverse field limits the grade, but otherwise the surfaces are exceptional.
