Proof-65 Cameo (PCGS).<strong>Obv:</strong> Standard Silver design with a bust of Liberty facing right, the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around the border and the motto IN GOD WE TRUST on a scroll below. Liberty is wearing a cap ornamented with three stars, and a ribbon crossing her shoulder is inscribed with the word LIBERTY. <strong>Rev:</strong> A wreath of oak and laurel leaves surrounds the denomination 25 CENTS with the inscription STANDARD SILVER above and the date 1870 below. Charming olive-apricot iridescence throughout, direct lighting revealing rose, gold and blue undertones that are boldest around the peripheries. Fully struck and satiny in finish, the devices contrast appreciably with nicely mirrored fields. Struck and sold in sets with the other Standard Silver designs and denominations for $15, the <em>uspatterns.com</em> website estimates about a dozen examples of Judd-906 are known today. The present rarity ranks high in the eyes of PCGS, see below. A great piece to consider for your Standard Silver pattern subset.From The Des Moines Collection.
