1873 Pattern Liberty Seated Quarter. Judd-1270, Pollock-1412. Rarity-7+.

1873 Pattern Liberty Seated Quarter. Judd-1270, Pollock-1412. Rarity-7+. Copper. Reeded Edge. Proof-65 RD (PCGS). The design is the same that the Mint used to produce regular issue 1873 No Arrows, Close 3 Liberty Seated quarters. These pieces were most likely struck for sale to contemporary collectors as part of complete off-metal Proof sets. It is estimated that about a half dozen examples exist for the 1873 quarter in copper. This is the single finest piece known to PCGS. Rich cherry-red mint color blankets each side, enhanced by iridescent powder blue on the high points. The fields are deeply reflective and even further enhance the tremendous eye appeal of this copper striking. A rare opportunity for the pattern specialist.
