1884 Quarter in Copper, PR64 Brown
Unique Judd-1729 Representative
Ex: Smith-Farouk-Boosel-Fred

1884 25C Seated Quarter, Judd-1729, Pollock-1940, Unique, PR64 Brown PCGS. Ex: Simpson. The regular Seated Liberty quarter dollar dies for the year. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. This unique copper striking was presented to A.M. Smith by Mint Superintendent A. Louden Snowden as part of a complete 1884 set for his role in publishing a visitor's guide to the Mint. With a pedigree that goes right back to its production and status as the only one of its type, this 1884 quarter in copper should generate considerable attention. Glossy brown surfaces exhibit iridescent blue, reddish-orange, violet, and magenta accents. A mark in the right obverse field identifies this phenomenal off-metal rarity. Population: 1 in 64 Brown, 0 finer (6/25).
