Rare 1867 Quarter Eagle Struck in Copper Judd-595 1867 Pattern Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. Judd-595, Pollock-659. Rarity-7+. Copper. Reeded Edge. Proof-65 RD (PCGS). Struck from the same dies that the Mint used in production of regular issue Proof 1867 Liberty Head quarter eagles. This awe-inspiring beauty exhibits dominant rose-red color to both sides, a few blushes of pale blue-gray over and around the obverse portrait also evident as the surfaces rotate under a light. Fully defined, as befits the method of manufacture, with well mirrored fields supporting satiny devices. Although traditionally regarded as a copper die trial for the Proof 1867 quarter eagle, the website uspatterns.com asserts that Judd-595 was likely produced for sale to contemporary collectors as part of off-metal Proof sets. The same source indicates that only about half a dozen specimens are extant, this being one of the finest available to today's advanced collectors. This coin was struck from the JD-1 die marriage of the regular issue Proof 1867 quarter eagle. On the obverse, the digit 1 is closer to the base of Liberty's bust than seen on circulation strike quarter eagles of this date. The reverse is the same that the Mint also used to produce regular issue Proof 1866 quarter eagles, a loupe revealing several raised areas within the loop of the letter R in AMERICA. PCGS Population: 1; none finer. This is the only Red example certified. PCGS# 80807. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
