1859 Pattern Liberty Seated Quarter. Judd-234, Pollock-281. Rarity-7-. Silver. Reeded Edge. Proof-66 (PCGS). CAC. Obv: The same design that the Mint used to strike regular issue 1859 Liberty Seated quarters of the Type I hub variety. Rev: A small and more delicate eagle than on the regular issue reverse, and with Anthony Paquet's trademark tall style lettering. Additionally, the denomination is spelled out in full rather than the standard QUARTER DOL. Dep, rich toning in olive-charcoal, steel-gray, cobalt blue and antique gold greets the viewer as the surfaces rotate under lighting.

That offered here is the finest for Judd-234 known to PCGS and CAC, and also the finest listed in Saul Teichman's census. Provenance: From Heritage's sale of the Bob R. Simpson Collection, January 2021 FUN Signature Auction. PCGS Population: 1; 0 finer. There are no grading events listed in the PCGS CAM or DCAM category. CAC Stickered Population: 1; 0. PCGS# 11958.
