1879 WASHLADY 25C J-1591 PCGS PR67 Red Brown

With a PCGS grade of PR67RB, this 1879 WASHLADY 25C J-1591 brings together technical preservation and issue-specific appeal. The first impression is one of cameo contrast; high-grade preservation, a useful indication of how carefully the piece has been preserved. As a pattern issue, it belongs to the experimental side of U.S. coinage, where design, alloy, and denomination concepts were tested before regular production. Attribution details include the J-1591 Judd attribution, features that matter to specialists in this series. The Rarity-7 designation supplies an important measure of survival and availability. The certification data place it alone at the top of the grade listing. Collectors of experimental U.S. coinage prize pieces like this for their link to ideas that shaped, or nearly shaped, the nation’s circulating designs.
