The obverse and reverse designs are the same that the Mint used for regular issue 1875 Liberty Head quarter eagle coinage. A delightful Gem example of this rare Judd number with tremendous appeal for both advanced pattern enthusiasts and specialists in Liberty Head gold. Richly toned in a blend of copper-rose and blue-gray, both sides burst into a dazzling array of iridescent blue, gold and pink undertones as the surfaces dip into strong lighting. Fully struck and expertly preserved with some semblance of a cameo finish also discernible under direct viewing situations.<p>Although traditionally cataloged as a regular dies trial strike, this Judd number is believed to have been deliberately produced to market to contemporary collectors as part of off-metal Proof sets. Judd-1434 is a major rarity today with only three specimens confirmed per the <em>uspatterns.com</em> website, one of which has been gilt. The extreme rarity of the regular issue 1875 Philadelphia Mint quarter eagle in gold - mintages: 20 Proofs and only 400 circulation strikes - further enhances the desirability of this stunning Gem.
