Lot Description

1896-O Barber Quarter. MS-64 (PCGS). A bright and brilliant near-Gem with full mint luster in a softly frosted texture. The strike is above average by the standards of the issuing mint, especially on the reverse where we note sharp to full detail throughout the design. With a limited mintage of 1,484,000 pieces and a high rate of attrition suffered through circulation, the 1896-O is a semi-key date Barber quarter even in well worn condition. In Mint State it is a rarity, the present offering a significant find for the advanced collector. PCGS Population: 9; 15 finer (MS-67 finest). PCGS# 5614. NGC ID: 23Y8.
