1872 Quarter Eagle in Aluminum
Judd-1234, PR65 Deep Cameo

1872 $2 1/2 Quarter Eagle, Judd-1234, Pollock-1376, R.8, PR65 Deep Cameo PCGS. CAC. Ex: Simpson. Often described as a regular dies trial strike, but USPatterns.com states complete denomination aluminum proof sets were produced for sale to collectors. Struck in aluminum with a reeded edge. Examples were also produced in copper, and both alloys are rare, with fewer than four of each confirmed to exist. This is only the second example we have handled since 1993. We sold a different PR63 specimen in 2011 and again in 2014. As with most aluminum patterns, the fields are deeply reflective. Likewise, the devices display thick mint frost. In this case, both the mirrored fields and mint frost are pronounced, which accounts for the Deep Cameo designation. Fully struck and exemplary.
Ex: Important Selection from the Bob R. Simpson Collection, Part II / Dallas Signature (Heritage, 11/2020), lot 3223; Central States Signature (Heritage, 4/2021), lot 5225.
