Lot Description

1895-S Barber Quarter. MS-64 (NGC). CAC. A brilliant and sharply struck example with bountiful mint luster. The 1895-S was produced to the extent of 1,764,681 coins, a much higher mintage than for the 1896-S the following year. However, it is still a significant condition rarity, underappreciated in all Mint State grades, especially those at or near the Gem level. A significant find for astute collectors of Barber coinage. Provenance: From the Larry H. Miller Collection. NGC Census: 20; 9 finer (MS-68 finest). PCGS# 5612. NGC ID: 23Y6. Click here for certification details from NGC.
