Description

1885 $2.50 Quarter Eagle, Judd-1752, Pollock-1965, R.8, PR66+ Cameo PCGS. Ex: Simpson. Although traditionally listed as regular dies trial strikings, these pieces were undoubtedly struck by the Mint for sale to collectors as part of complete aluminum sets. Struck in aluminum with a reeded edge. Only two pieces are known and both are high grade examples. This is a dazzling, bright piece that is completely detailed throughout. The fields display the expected depth of mirrored reflectivity with thick, frosted devices. A slight smudge of oxidation is located just above the IC in AMERICA on the reverse.
Ex: Farouk; ANA Auction (Kosoff, 8/1966), part of complete aluminum set, lot 1239; Jascha Heifetz Collection (Superior, 10/1989), lot 3363.

Coin Index Numbers: (PCGS# 517966, Greysheet# 373287)
