- Superior Gem 1908-S Quarter
Only Four Graded Finer by PCGS
1908-S Barber Quarter. MS-66+ (PCGS). CAC.
This stunning Gem displays brilliant, untoned luster at the centers and subtle bronze iridescence at the borders. It is incredibly sharp and free of friction across all elements. Approval by CAC confirms the truly superior quality. In a series replete with challenging mintmarked issues, the 1908-S stands out due to its mintage of 784,000 pieces. Like most San Francisco Mint quarters of this type, the 1908-S saw extensive circulation that resulted in most examples being lost or becoming well worn from decades of commercial use. David Lawrence (1994) describes the 1908-S as, "One of my favorite dates....Never stays in stock - trouble-free coins of any grade sell immediately. Undervalued in most mint state grades. Even though gems are no bargain compared with some other dates, you should not let one go." For the superior MS-66+ CAC offered here, this is especially true as only four coins have been graded finer by PCGS.
Provenance: From the Dazzling Rarities Collection.
PCGS Population: 4; 4 finer through MS-68.
PCGS# 5652. NGC ID: 23ZF.
