1876 Quarter Eagle in Copper
Judd-1480, PR65 Red and Brown

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 two or 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.

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2AD9, PCGS# 71802, Greysheet# 14611)
