1870 Quarter Eagle in Copper
Judd-1026, PR66+ Red and Brown

1870 $2.50 Quarter Eagle, Judd-1026, Pollock-1161, R.7, PR66+ Red and Brown PCGS. Ex: Simpson. Each side features the regular Liberty Head quarter eagle design for the year 1870. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. Produced at the height of pattern-mania the Philadelphia Mint, this copper quarter eagle was likely made for collectors rather than to test the dies. One way or another, fewer than six examples of Judd-1026 are believed to exist. Two are certified at PCGS and one is graded PR66★ Red and Brown at NGC. That coin may or may not represent a prior submission of the present PR66+ example. Both sides have mellowed somewhat to copper-brown with accents of violet and blue patina. They appear flashy and contrasted when rotated under a light source and reveal surprisingly few areas of contact. Population: 1 in 66 (1 in 66+) Red and Brown, 0 finer (5/21).

Coin Index Numbers: (PCGS# 71274, Greysheet# 13460)
