1877 Sailor Head Quarter Dollar in Copper
Judd-1500, PR66+ Red and Brown

1877 25C Sailor Head Quarter Dollar, Judd-1500, Pollock-1653, Low R.7, PR66+ Red and Brown PCGS. CAC. Ex: Harry W. Bass, Jr. Collection. William Barber's well-known Sailor Head obverse is paired with a regular Seated quarter reverse. The obverse exhibits a bust with the date below and 13 stars arranged seven left and six right, separated by IN GOD WE TRUST in small letters. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. This is one of eight examples that Saul Teichman of USPatterns.com has traced with the caveat that a ninth representative may survive. Each side displays marvelous copper-red color that has mellowed slightly in certain areas to shades of violet and rose. Carbon is absolutely minimal and contact is virtually unseen. Endorsed by CAC for quality.
Ex: Purchased from Lee F. Hewitt (4/17/1972).
From The Harry W. Bass, Jr. Core Collection, Part II.
