Description
1877 Sailor Head Quarter in Copper
Judd-1500, PR64 Brown
Sole PCGS Example, None at NGC
1877 25C Sailor Head Quarter Dollar, Judd-1500, Pollock-1653,
R.7, PR64 Brown PCGS. Ex: Simpson. 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 silver edge. The
Sailor Head appears on several patterns of multiple denominations
dated 1875 through 1877. The present die pairing is also known by a
single example in silver (Judd-1499). USPatterns.com states "about
eight examples are known [for Judd-1500], two of which have been
silverplated." Despite that statement, this lot is the only
Judd-1500 presently certified by either NGC or PCGS (as of 11/20).
It is fully struck and unmarked with lavish multicolor toning. The
obverse is predominantly orange-gold and powder-blue. The reverse
displays slightly deeper cobalt-blue, sea-green, and lavender
shades. The Eric P. Newman specimen is the only other Judd-1500
pattern we've traced to auctions since 1991.Ex: Samuel J. Berngard (Stack's Bowers, 7/2008), lot 4221; FUN Signature (Heritage, 7/2010), lot 4491.
