Description
1882 Shield Earring Quarter, PR65 Cameo
Judd-1698, Silver
1882 25C Shield Earring Quarter, Judd-1698, Pollock-1900, Low
R.7, PR65 Cameo NGC. CAC. The Shield Earring design of George
T. Morgan. A youthful Liberty faces right wearing a headband with
the usual inscription, the band compressing the back portion of her
hair. She wears a shield-shaped earring, with stars six left, seven
right, date 1882 below. On the reverse a perched, defiant eagle
occupies the center, clutching an olive branch and arrows. The
reverse design is reminiscent of the Flying Eagle cent obverse and
the Gobrecht dollar reverse, although the eagle faces right. UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA and QUARTER DOLLAR are the peripheral legends.
Struck in silver with a reeded edge.At USPatterns.com, Saul Teichman reports 10 examples including this Gem Cameo proof that is apparently a new discovery as it does not appear to match any of the others that are recorded in past literature. Teichman's photographic record is available to all collectors at https://archive.org/details/judd1882no1698/mode/1up. His extraordinary pattern research includes comprehensive photographic records of many pattern varieties and he generously makes these available to all collectors free of any fees.
This stunning Gem Cameo proof is boldly defined with brilliant, deeply mirrored silver surfaces and trivial marks of no consequence. Subtle toning that appears below ICA may assist in locating a past auction appearance of this example if such an appearance is to be found. In all grades, NGC and PCGS have certified 10 examples. Those at NGC grade PR64, PR65 Cameo (2), PR67, and PR67★ . PCGS adds examples that grade PR64, PR65+, PR65 Cameo (2), and PR67 Deep Cameo (11/23).
