1861 Quarter Eagle in Copper
Judd-282, PR61 Brown

1861 $2 1/2 Quarter Eagle, Judd-282, Pollock-333, R.7, PR61 Brown PCGS. While these pieces have traditionally been described as regular dies trial strikings, it is more likely they were deliberately struck for sale to collectors. Struck copper with a reeded edge. Only four or five copper pieces are believed known, and there are several silver examples also extant. This piece displays deep brown patina over both sides with slightly lighter shading on the central obverse device. Our records indicate the last such piece to be sold at auction was in our Central States Auction in May, 2000.
