Lot Description

1896-S Barber Quarter. Fine-15 (PCGS). Silver-lilac obverse toning with blushes of bolder reddish-russet patina intermingled here and there around the periphery. The reverse is overall lighter with more of a golden-gray hue, but we do see a splash of rich russet color near the lower-left border on that side of the coin. Suitably bold in detail at the Fine grade level, and free of individually mentionable abrasions.
