Losbeschreibung: 1875 Pattern Liberty by the Seashore Twenty Cents. Judd-1400, Pollock-1543. Rarity-7-. Copper. Plain Edge. Proof-64 RB (PCGS). OGH. Obv:Liberty is seated by the seashore, facing left, an olive branch in her right hand, her left hand resting on the globe inscribed LIBERTY in raised letters. Two flags and a wheat sheaf are behind the portrait, a small steamship on the water in the distance with sails and smoke going in opposite directions. Thirteen stars encircle the border and the date 1875 is below. Rev:Similar to the design that the Mint adopted for regular issue twenty-cent piece production in 1875, although with a couple of differences. The second arrow head points well above the first letter T in TWENTY and all three leaves at the end of the olive branch point to the eagle's left wing tip. This richly original near-Gem is layered in bold copper-rose and gray-brown patina, subtle powder blue and pale gold highlights evident at direct viewing angles. A popular and scarce pattern type at a highly desirable level of preservation. Provenance: From the E. Horatio Morgan Collection. Earlier from Superior's February 3, 4, 5 1991 Sale, lot 1580. Lot tag included. PCGS Population: 2; with a single Proof-66 RB finer in this category. PCGS# 71707. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
