Superb 1864 Copper Quarter With Motto, Judd-387

1864 25C Quarter Dollar, Judd-387, Pollock-455, R.7, PR67 Red and Brown PCGS. Ex: Bass. Similar to the regular issue 1864 Seated quarter, but the motto IN GOD WE TRUST has been added on a scroll in the upper reverse field. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. Formerly offered as lot 1123 in Bass I, where it was described in part as, "A superb example, sharply struck, with deeply reflective Proof surfaces. Lovely pinkish orange is accented by bright blue, especially on the reverse.
"This is a very rare issue in copper. In fact, Andrew Pollock listed only this coin and one other example, from the collection of King Farouk...A third example may exist, as a 1991 auction price is reported for a certified PR-65 example appearing in an August Heritage Bullet Sale."
Ex: Bass I (Bowers and Merena, 5/99), lot 1123, where it realized $4,370; Robert Branigan Estate (Bowers and Merena, 8/78), lot 1798.
