Lot Description

An angelic Superb Gem Proof with delicate champagne-pink iridescence that appears to drift toward the borders. Bottomless and reflective fields frame the richly frosted devices, imparting strong cameo contrast on both sides. Attractive and free from notable marks or handling, this PCGS/CAC Proof-67+ Cameo example is among the very finest known for the issue.<p>Struck to a tiny quantity of just 380 pieces, the 1914 Barber quarter boasts the lowest Proof mintage of the entire series. Only 300 to 350 are thought to survive for today's collectors, with fewer qualifying as Gem Proof or finer. This availability is further limited when production quality is taken into account, as very few show the necessary contrast to qualify for a Cameo designation. This virtually pristine Superb Gem is a remarkable exception and will surely interest advanced specialists of the series.
