1869 Standard Silver Pattern Quarter (25c) J-730

This 1869 quarter (J-730) is a remarkable piece of pattern coinage reflecting a fascinating period of experimentation in U.S. Mint history. Patterns like this represent test designs or compositions, often produced in limited numbers, making them highly sought after.

Graded PR64RD by PCGS, this coin is a splendid example of a proof with remarkable details, radiant color, and original red surfaces. Struck in copper with a plain edge, this is one of our namesake coins - a Rarity 7 with less than 12 known surviving examples. A truly rare coin.
