Lot Description

1899-O Barber Quarter. MS-66 (PCGS). A warmly and originally patinated example with overall bold striking detail and fulsome satin luster. Due at least in part to a relatively generous mintage of 2,644,000 pieces, the 1899-O is one of the more readily obtainable New Orleans Mint Barber quarters in lower Mint State grades. Gems such as this remain rare, however, underscoring the fleeting bidding opportunity that this offering represents. PCGS# 5623. NGC ID: 23YH. PCGS Population: 6; 5 finer (MS-67 finest). Provenance: From the Frog Run Farm Collection.
