PaulyD Valued Member United States 134 Posts	Posted 01/15/2024 2:24 pm From what I could find...1870 standard silver quarter dollar, Judd-888, Pollock-987, R.5. Need some help identifying this one folks. I'm a bit lost. I looked at PCGS and there is about 40+ different varieties of this one. Any help is appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 01/17/2024 01:14 am I can't think of a bigger bang for a new member than the three of these threads. Thanks for joining, PaulyD. I enjoy an opportunity to research something and learn, and you've provided that. Imagine inheriting coins like these that nobody else has ever known about. According to uspatterns, about a dozen of this Judd-890 coin are known. For the 50c Judd-941, 3 or 4 known. For the $1 Judd-1020, 6 or 7 known. What fun. Report this Post to the Staff

PaulyD Valued Member United States 134 Posts	Posted 01/17/2024 07:55 am Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. As a newby to the hobby, this forum is AWESOME. I'll keep posting some things I think are pretty cool I'm sure I'm missing some. My grandfather, PopPop as I called him, was a coin fanatic. I hope I can do him proud. more to come...
