Description du lot

1899-S Barber Quarter. MS-63 (PCGS). Charming iridescent toning in powder blue and silver-apricot provides strong visual appeal for this premium MS-63 example. Fully struck with a hard, satiny texture, both sides are uncommonly smooth in hand for the assigned grade. Only 708,000 1899-S quarters were struck and, according to David Lawrence, most were shipped to the Philippines for use in commerce there after the Spanish-American War. Many of the coins that remained stateside circulated heavily in the bustling West Coast economy of the time. That Mint State examples of most of these early date S-Mint Barber quarter issues exist is more a matter of chance than of intention. Very scarce. PCGS# 5624. NGC ID: 23YJ.
