^Lot 1864 1883 Hawaiian Pattern Quarter Dollar

1883 Hawaiian Pattern Quarter Dollar. . Medcalf-Russell 2CPC-2. PCGS graded Proof 65 Brown CAC Approved. In a new secure plus holder. Pop 1; none finer at PCGS in Brown. Even brown toning. A nice bold strike. Only 18 copper Pattern Proof sets were struck. A quite impressive Gem Proof in this elevated grade, with the finest detail sharply displayed since Pattern Proofs in copper were struck from the same dies as the regular silver Hawaiian Proofs; variegated layers of toning envelop the surface on both sides in a warm embrace, including some very attractive iridescent shades on a base of deep reddish-brown. No marks or other indications of contact matter a lot on these rare Proofs, and so go a long way in establishing the grade. (PCGS #10990).
Estimated Value $15,000 - 17,000.

Provenance: The Forsythe Collection.
