Virtually Flawless Proof 1898 Quarter Proof-69 Ultra Cameo (NGC) Tied with the Finest of the Entire Series 1898 Barber Quarter. Proof-69 Ultra Cameo (NGC). Fully untoned and platinum-white, allowing the spectacular surface quality to take center stage. The devices are cloaked in rich, satiny luster, starkly contrasting with the deeply reflective fields. Sharply struck and essentially untouched. Along with the Proof issues of 1896 and 1897, the 1898 is the most consistently well produced and attractive in the series. Even so, few survivors from a mintage of 735 Proofs are as exquisite as this gorgeous specimen. Perhaps only fifteen to twenty percent of these display Ultra Cameo contrast, and even those are typically in grades of Proof-67 and lower. At Proof-69 Ultra Cameo, the present piece is tied with the very finest known for both the date and the entire Barber quarter series. It represents an important opportunity for both type collectors and Barber specialists. NGC Census: 9; none finer. PCGS# 95684. NGC ID: 242D. Click here for certification details from NGC.
