- 1896 Barber Quarter. MS-66 (PCGS).
Lovely iridescent reddish-apricot toning enhances surfaces that are decidedly semi-reflective in the fields. Otherwise satiny in texture with razor sharp striking detail throughout. Although over 3.8 million circulation strike 1896 quarter dollars were struck, David Lawrence (1994) observes, "All these early dates are much tougher in F through AU than the later dates of similar mintage." Regarding Mint Sate coins, the author makes an even more remarkable comment: "Proofs are almost twice as common as Mint State business strikes." Indeed, our offerings for coins grading MS-65 and finer have generally been few and far between over the years. For the Barber quarter enthusiast, this is a significant bidding opportunity.
Provenance: From the Larry H. Miller Collection.
PCGS Population: 9; 9 finer (MS-67 finest).
PCGS# 5613. NGC ID: 23Y7.
