1876 $2 1/2 Quarter Eagle, Judd-1480, Pollock-1633, R.7, PR65
Red and Brown PCGS. Ex: Simpson. The off-metal strikes of the
1876 quarter eagle have been termed "regular dies trial piece" in
the past; however, they were actually struck for sale to collectors
as part of off-metal sets. This piece is struck in copper with a
reeded edge. Pieces were apparently only struck in this metal. Only
three examples are believed known in copper. An aluminum piece was
believed to exist at one time, but it has not been confirmed to
exist and was delisted by Pollock. The surfaces on this piece have
uniformly mellowed to a lovely reddish-brown with areas of bright
mint read surrounding the devices. Fully struck throughout.Ex: ANA Sale (Stack's, 8/1976), lot 3653; Fairfield Collection (Bowers and Ruddy, 10/1977), lot 115; Long Beach Signature(Heritage, 6/1998), lot 6630; Smythe (7/2004); southern collection; Important Selections from The Bob R.
