Undated (1857) Uniface Pattern Liberty Quarter Eagle
A bust of Liberty faces left with 13 stars arranged around the border. Liberty is wearing a coronet inscribed LIBERTY, and the design is virtually identical to that which the Mint used to strike regular issue nickel three-cent pieces. Uniform silver gray surfaces with a little bit of paper adhering to the central reverse, as made. This rarity from Judd's Appendix A listings is a classic example of Mint technology and the use of lead "splashers" for new designs -- they are known in many denominations and dates, especially from the mid-to-late 1800s. The present Gem example was obviously treated with the proverbial kid gloves as soon as it was received at the Mint, and then handled likewise down through the ages to collectors today. It is the only example of the issue certified by PCGS within any designation or grade; it is also the plate coin for the 10th Edition of the Judd reference. Have at it, specialists, and may the most sincere bidder win.
PCGS#: 200
Pedigree: The plate coin for the type in the 10th edition of the Judd pattern reference.
