Lot Description

1904-O Barber Quarter. MS-64 (NGC). CAC. This Choice example is attractively toned in silver-lilac and champagne-apricot iridescence that is bolder on the obverse. The 1904-O was produced to the extent of 2,456,000 pieces, and the vast majority of survivors are well worn. Even problem free EF and AU examples are few and far between. As related by Q. David Bowers (2019), "David Lawrence called [the 1904-O] one of 17 Barber quarter issues considered to be 'very scarce' in any Mint State category." Provenance: From the Larry H. Miller Collection. NGC Census: 20; 12 finer (MS-67 finest). PCGS# 5638. NGC ID: 23YZ. Click here for certification details from NGC.
